Clause 4 - Application by NHS trusts
Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Bill
5:28 pm

Mr Andrew Lansley (South Cambridgeshire, Conservative)
Amendment No. 105 is in the group for debate. If amendment No. 75 were to be agreed, there would be a curious situation in which the only person who would not have any influence over whether an application went forward would be the Secretary of State. Amendment No. 105 would ensure that, at a later point, the Secretary of State could object if he wished.
Sitting suspended for a Division in the House.
