Health and Social Care Bill

My Lords, I thank the Minister for what he said. I recognise that it is not easy to take away a piece of architecture that the Government had thought was necessary. I believe that the piece of architecture effectively fell away with the Future Forum report. I do not at all recognise his description of me as ““vocal”” in any circumstances. As to the Opposition and the noble Baroness, Lady Thornton, I recognise that it is a bit difficult to acknowledge on the Floor of the House that the Government today made many concessions in collaboration with these Benches. I will promise to be gracious—if the noble Baroness is listening—about the role that she played in tabling these amendments in Committee if she will cease to be ungracious on Twitter about the achievements of, and amendments to, the Bill. I beg to move. Amendment 186 agreed. Clause 79 : Reviews under section 78: powers of investigation Amendment 187 Clause 79 : Reviews under section 78: powers of investigation Amendment 187 Moved by
