Clause 13 - Public dividend capital
Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Bill
5:15 pm

Mr John Hutton (Minister of State, Department of Health; Barrow and Furness, Labour)
That was unfair of me. I apologise to the hon. Member for South Cambridgeshire.
There is no mysterious financial card trick being played here. This is a straightforward provision designed to protect and defend public assets, and I hope that the Committee will agree to it.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 13 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Further consideration adjourned.—[Jim Fitzpatrick.]
Adjourned accordingly at twenty-three minutes past Five o'clock till Tuesday 3 June at half-past Ten o'clock.
