Proceeding contribution from Michael Tomlinson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 22 January 2016. It occurred during Debate on bill on NHS (Charitable Trusts Etc) Bill.


NHS (Charitable Trusts Etc) Bill

I certainly would not agree that my hon. Friend’s experience is mediocre—quite the opposite. I understand the thrust of his point, but I disagree, because at a time when politics can be seen to be remote it is important that the public are engaged in these debates. I also think it would be wrong to say Ministers’ minds are closed. I am sure those on the Front Bench this morning would agree that Ministers’ minds are not, and should not be, closed—certainly not before a public consultation.
