Points of Order

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. You will know that, in the wake of Prime Minister’s Questions, the right hon. Member for Leigh (Andy Burnham), the former Health Secretary, attempted to rebut what the Deputy Prime Minister had said about the facts of the franchise agreement for Hinchingbrooke hospital—the first privatisation of an acute district hospital in the NHS. He used words to the effect of “I did not sign off the privatisation.” However, on 27 March 2010, The Times recorded that he had signed the agreement to restrict the number of providers to just three, in the private sector. I fear that he may therefore have inadvertently misled the House with a slightly disingenuous response. I wonder whether you have been given notice that he will come to the House in the next few days to correct the record.
