Strategic Health Authorities (Establishment and Abolition) (England) Order

The point raised by my hon. Friend the Member for Ashford (Damian Green) was a point of order, so I do not need to refer to it. The Minister must deal with the extra cost has been placed on the processes of the House and therefore on the taxpayer, now that we are challenged to consider the order after it has been put in place. I ask you, Mr. Speaker, to consider, and I hope the Minister will also think about, the feelings of members of strategic health authorities who have recently been appointed. What must they think of a Government who suddenly put before Parliament a measure that may or may not be referred to Committee to confirm the job that they have just secured?
