Mr Paul Burstow (Shadow Secretary of State for Health, Health; Sutton and Cheam, Liberal Democrat)
That is incredibly helpful. I am not taking any route; I am attempting to ascertain the Government's route. It would be useful if, in her letter, the Minister gave at least a sense of the parameters of the consultation. It is rare for the Government to base consultation on a blank piece of paper; they normally have a fairly clear idea of the parameters within which
they want to work, and it would be useful to know what they are.
