Part of NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE REORGANISATION BILL [Lords] – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 12 June 1973.
I beg to move, That the clause be read a Second time.
I trust that I shall have the leave of the House in moving the clause with a minor change in the wording from the clause as tabled, which referred purely to Wales. It is my intention that the clause should apply to Great Britain as a whole. That I have achieved by inserting the words "parish or" before the word "community" wherever it appears. It is a minor change. The principle remains identical. It would be for the benefit of the House to agree to that inclusion. I take it that there is no objection to that being done.
