Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010
Debate between Lord Wills and Baroness Scott of Bybrook
Baroness Scott of Bybrook
My Lords, the Government have made it very clear that the NHS is safe in any trade deals. It will continue to be safe.
Lord Wills (Lab) [V]
My Lords, I welcome what the Minister said about not amending the Act in relation to the Civil Service, although I hope her words “no plans” are not doing too much work for her. In the light of recent revelations about donations to the Conservative Party, can she say whether there have been any discussions anywhere within government about amending Part 4 of the Act, which stipulates that Members of your Lordships’ House must be UK taxpayers?
Baroness Scott of Bybrook
My Lords, no. There has been no discussion on any amendments to the Act.
