Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Bill

moved Amendment No. 50: 50: Clause 16, page 11, line 18, leave out ““from time to time”” The noble Baroness said: This is a very small amendment to Clause 16. It also gives us an opportunity to look at Clause 16, which continues the transitional arrangements and cheers itself up according to incidental matters that are again buried in here. I fully accept the Minister’s explanation about the provision being on the face of the Bill. That is extremely helpful, otherwise we would have to dig it out. I am not quite clear why ““from time to time”” appears. I imagine that these are, by and large, transitional arrangements that would be made—full stop. The amendment would just remove ““from time to time”” and I ask the Minister why those words are there. I beg to move.
