Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Quin (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
On that note, may I draw to the Minister’s attention one charity in my constituency? Like my hon. Friend the Member for Torbay (Kevin Foster), we have charities that support the local hospital, but we also have Action Medical Research, which does a wonderful job for children. It was formed back in 1952 and has the distinction of being supported by Paddington Bear, which is wonderful. It runs the largest regular London to Paris bike ride to raise funds to support research into diseases that affect young children. It is not directly linked to the NHS, but it is a wonderful medical charity. I hope that the Bill will empower many more such charities to get going.
