§ SAMPLING
§ Mr. SnowI beg to move Amendment No. 1ll, page 119, leave out lines 38 to 40.
If I am not taking too much upon myself, I would say that, on this occasion in Committee, "Homer nodded". An Amendment went through owing to a mistake by me, for which I apologise to the House. These lines are technically not well drafted, but, apart from that, the powers which the mover of the Amendment in Committee intended to protect are wholly unaffected by paragraph 1(1) of the Schedule. The provisions of that paragraph are directly related to the Medicines Bill or to Regulations or Orders made under it, so there is no question of the Schedule prejudicing or derogating from any of 'the Minister's rights under the National Health Service Act.
§ Amendment agreed to.
