Clause 5
Commissioner for Older People (Wales) Bill [Lords]
12:45 pm
Cheryl Gillan (Shadow Secretary of State for Wales, Wales; Chesham and Amersham, Conservative)
I appreciate that, but there may be an urgency in a whistleblowing procedure. As far as I can see, there is no statutory obligation for the commissioner to react in a timely manner. I would like that to be considered. It is not something that immediately springs out of the Bill. It should not be left to good judgment because, sadly, we know that sometimes judgment is not always good. I shall be interested to hear what the Minister has to say after he has consulted on the time limits.
