Andy Burnham (Minister of State (Delivery and Quality), Department of Health; Leigh, Labour)
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.
