I beg to move, That the House sit in private.
Question put forthwith (Standing Order No. 163), and negatived.
Grahame M. Morris (Easington) (Lab)
On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Yesterday, the Deputy Prime Minister, while speaking to a public services summit, claimed that he would not allow a rigged market in the NHS and said that there would be no higher tariffs for private providers. That contradicts the Government’s own impact assessment, published with the Health and Social Care Bill.
In view of the mistaken impression that has been created and the seriousness of the issue for many hundreds of thousands of NHS workers and the public at large, will you advise me, Mr Speaker, whether there is any redress in the House? Will the Deputy Prime Minister come to apologise for creating that mistaken impression?
