Proceeding contribution from Jonathan Ashworth (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 November 2016. It occurred during Opposition day on Community Pharmacies.


Community Pharmacies

The right hon. Gentleman is an extremely experienced former health Minister, possibly the most extreme—[Laughter.] He is definitely not an extremist, but he is possibly the most experienced Conservative former Health Minister apart from, perhaps, the right hon. and learned Member for Rushcliffe (Mr Clarke). It is very noble of him to try to get the Minister off the hook, but the fact remains that he was the one who said that 3,000 pharmacies would close, and we will continue to remind Ministers of that.
