Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill

I thank the Minister for those not very helpful or supportive remarks. I hear what she says and I take the point about the Secretary of State. However, somebody ought to be holding a referendum, so we may come back to this at a later stage with a different designation as to who should hold one. I am still confident that the right way is to ensure that the electorate knows that this is happening and has had an opportunity to take part in the decision. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clause 7 [Implementation of proposals by order]: [Amendment No. 26A not moved.]
