Clause 43 - Information and advice
Health and Social Care (Community Health and Standards) Bill
10:00 am
Mr Simon Burns (West Chelmsford, Conservative)
I am disappointed by the Under-Secretary's response, because, notwithstanding his remarks, the amendment would be a positive step towards increasing the transparency of the process and, as the hon. Member for Sutton and Cheam (Mr. Burstow) said, towards enabling us to have a judge and jury. I should like to stress on the record that this is a wasted opportunity. I shall not press the amendment to a Division, however. I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
