I wish to say how much this clause has been welcomed in Wales. It fits in with the Government’s White Paper giving framework powers to the Welsh Assembly and with the different health situation in Wales. The Government’s proposals are broadly welcomed.

This is a small but important moment of parliamentary history; this is the first framework power to be used, and I am pleased to be the Minister taking it through. The only other piece of parliamentary history that I have made is ringing the first mobile phone that went off in the Chamber. I was ringing my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whose researcher I was at the time. It is nice to make a proper piece of history, however, and I am grateful for my hon. Friend’s welcome.
