Business of the House

Proceeding contribution from David Lidington (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 November 2016. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.

We welcome the clarity that the recent court judgment on PrEP provided. As the hon. Gentleman knows, there was a genuine difference between the view of the NHS and the view of local authorities as to where legal responsibility ought to rest, and we now have that clarity. Over the years, Governments of every political shade have got used to being taken to court by way of judicial review or other challenge. That is what living in a free society under the rule of law is about.
