Care Bill [Lords]

Debate between Liz Kendall and Baroness Laing of Elderslie

Monday 10th March 2014 Commons Chamber

[Mr Ward]

Will the hon. Lady give way?

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Mrs Eleanor Laing)]

Order. Before the shadow Minister considers taking further interventions, she may not have realised that although the House appreciates that she is making some important points on a complex matter, she has spoken for some 24 minutes. She will not be aware, but I am, that a very large number of colleagues wish to speak in this debate and there is a limited time, so she might consider bringing her remarks to a close.

[Liz Kendall]

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I have two more paragraphs. I agreed that I would speak for 25 minutes, so at 24 minutes I am almost in.

New clause 9 would help secure that shift in approach. I ask hon. Members to consider the new clause seriously because we need to introduce the up-front prevention, help and support, which requires a change in the way we look at the costs and benefits in the system.
