LORD ABERDARE

My Lords, I beg to move that this House doth agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 20. The effect of this Amendment is to secure that the chairman of a Community Health Council is elected by the members of the Council. It discharges an undertaking to consider Opposition Amendments moved in another place.

Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(Lord Aberdare.)

BARONESS WHITE

My Lords, I should like to express appreciation from this side that the Government have accepted particularly that the Community Health Council should be able to elect their own chairman. We very much appreciate this.

On Question, Motion agreed to.
