Schedule 3
Health Bill [Lords]
12:30 pm
Stephen O'Brien (Shadow Minister, Health; Eddisbury, Conservative)
I beg to move amendment 22, in schedule 3, page 42, line 13, after Ministers’, insert ‘after consultation’.
This galloping through can be quite catching, Mr. Key. However, I am afraid that a number of amendments have been tabled to schedule 3. We will try to rattle through them, but from page 42 of the Bill, there is a lot of detail that must be looked at carefully.
The amendments on this schedule relate to the terms of office of members. We want to explore aspects of the new suspension powers and how they will bite on various bodies. What consultation does the Minister plan to undertake before making these regulations? Why will this power be created through regulations in relation to this Bill and not the other Acts that are listed in the schedule? Will the Minister confirm which bodies the power applies to, other than the Commission on Human Medicines?
