Lord Lansley (Con)
My Lords, my amendments would remove the 12 months, because that would enable greater alignment with practice in the NHS. I make a plea to noble Lords that we might hear from those who have tabled amendments so that we complete the group more quickly. I think it is a discourtesy to those who have tabled amendments not to hear their explanation for them.
Captain of the King’s Bodyguard of the Yeomen of the Guard and Deputy Chief Whip (Baroness Wheeler) (Lab)
My Lords, while we are on the subject of interventions, I remind the Committee that a Member who is speaking may be interrupted with a brief question of clarification. A Member may justifiably refuse to give way. Let us try to stick to the people who have their names on the amendments and make progress.
