Proceeding contribution from Baroness Merron (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 12 February 2026. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Medical Training (Prioritisation) Bill.
Medical Training (Prioritisation) Bill
The noble Lord kindly raised this with me before, and I did test it out. I am grateful that he has given thought to this, because it is an important point. However, I am advised that, unfortunately, the solution that he has come up with would not deal with all the concerns we have and would still give us difficulty. The noble Lord talked about the thin end of the wedge, and I fear that we are still in the same place. I am happy to write to the noble Lord, and to make that letter available, to explain further detail. I am grateful that he has given consideration to a solution for what is undoubtedly an issue.
