Oral Answers to Questions

Emma Reynolds Excerpts

Tuesday 5th July 2016 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

Order. Despite the fact that we are late, I am keen to try to satisfy the inquisitorial appetite of colleagues, but can do so best if they are each now very brief.

[Emma Reynolds (Wolverhampton North East) (Lab)]

What is the Health Secretary doing to ensure that the NHS gets the £350 million a week that it was promised during the referendum campaign?

[Mr Jeremy Hunt]

I am a little stumped, because I was never really sure whether we would see that money. All I can say is that I am committed to successful negotiations with the EU, and I am delighted that a number of people who championed the Brexit vote have said that any extra funding should go to the NHS.
