NHS Funding Bill

Proceeding contribution from Patrick Grady (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 January 2020. It occurred during Debate on bills on NHS Funding Bill.

I have raised with the Minister the concern about the cap that the Government have put on the spending figures through the use of the money resolution, but the whole Bill is going to be committed to the English Legislative Grand Committee, so Members

from Scotland are not going to be able to table amendments to pursue exactly such points with the Government. We are not going to be able to inquire, as other Members from the rest of the UK will be able to do, table probing amendments or question the impact of the Government’s spending. Does my hon. Friend agree that that really undermines the point of this being a sovereign UK Parliament?
