Healthcare (European Economic Area and Switzerland Arrangements) Bill

Lord Foulkes of Cumnock Excerpts

3rd reading (Hansard): House of Lords
Tuesday 19th March 2019 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Manzoor]

That the Bill do now pass.

[Lord Foulkes of Cumnock (Lab Co-op)]

My Lords, on a point of clarification, the Minister said—in an impeccable way—exactly what changes have been made by the Government. She also said that the amendments we have put forward have, understandably, to be approved by the other place. However, does not the change of the title to the Healthcare (European Economic Area and Switzerland Arrangements) Bill, which is very welcome, imply that the Government are accepting the amendments that this House has made? That is my understanding; is it also the Minister’s?

[Baroness Manzoor]

My Lords, that is of course a matter for the Commons to decide. I beg to move.
