Drugs Bill
3:45 pm
Mrs Cheryl Gillan (Shadow Minister, Home Affairs; Chesham and Amersham, Conservative)
I am happy with that response. We are all conscious that the timing of the Bill is trickier than in the normal course of events. I understand what the Minister has said. No doubt, in time, the Bill will hit the statute books and come into operation. I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
The Chairman, being of the opinion that the principle of the clause and any matters arising thereon had been adequately discussed in the course of debate on the amendment proposed thereto, forthwith put the Question, pursuant to Standing Orders Nos. 68 and 89, That the clause, as amended, stand part of the Bill.
Question agreed to.
Clause 1, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
