Clause 11 - Power of Secretary of State to give
Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Bill
11:00 am
Mr Peter Atkinson (Hexham, Conservative)
These groups of amendments flow into one another, because they deal with financial matters. I said that I would be tolerant of a wider debate on clause 11, but that I would ask the Committee to keep to the subject when discussing clauses 12 and 13. When we come to amendment No. 247, the hon. Gentleman will be able to ask his chosen questions, but I shall insist that the debate is narrowly focused on that amendment.
