Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between David Mowat and Stuart Blair Donaldson

Tuesday 15th November 2016 Commons Chamber

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Health (David Mowat)]

Given such threats to health, does the Secretary of State really think that now is the time for timidity and sucking up to business?
