Health and Social Care Bill (Hansard, 6 March 2001)

§ Lord Burlison
On behalf of my noble friend Lord Hunt of Kings Heath, I beg to move the Motion standing in his name on the Order Paper.
Moved, That it be an instruction to the Committee of the Whole House to whom the Health and Social Care Bill has been committed that they consider the Bill in the following order:

Clauses 1 to 9,

Schedule 1,

Clauses 10 to 36,

Schedule 2,

Clauses 37 to 47,

Schedule 3,

Clauses 48 to 51,

Clause 68,

Clauses 52 to 55,

Schedule 4,

Clauses 56 to 67,

Clauses 69 to 75,

Schedules 5 and 6.—(Lord Burlison.)

Lord Renton
My Lords, is the noble Lord aware that even in Committee it is unusual and undesirable to take a clause out of order unless there is a strong reason for doing so? Will he explain why, in relation to the configuration to be used during the Bill's Committee stage, Clause 68 is being promoted? That clause will be taken before Clauses 52 to 55.

§ Lord Burlison
My Lords, the procedure has been agreed to. My noble friend Lady Scotland of Asthal told the noble Lord what the procedure is. I trust that nothing untoward has occurred and that the approach conforms with the agreement reached through the usual channels.
