Oral Answers to Questions

Stephen Hepburn Excerpts

Tuesday 1st July 2014 Commons Chamber

[Mr Vara]

It is vital that we have the necessary discussions with other Departments. We are working on that, at pace, to ensure that we get the best possible outcome for those at the end of that chain.

[Mr Stephen Hepburn (Jarrow) (Lab)]

Does it not tell us everything we want to know about this nasty Government—doing a rotten deal with Tory funders in the City to the detriment of dying people?

[Mr Vara]

The hon. Gentleman does neither himself nor his party any credit by using such language. A document has been made public and no deal was done with it—that is the fact. It would help the House if the hon. Gentleman dealt with facts rather than supposition.
