How your MP voted on legal bid to protect the NHS in US trade deal
The amendment would have banned any deal that undermined the ability "to maintain the quality and safety of health or care services"
21 July 2020 0 commentsBy InYourArea
Conservative MPs voted yesterday against a legal bid to protect the NHS in a future trade deal with the US.
Labour put forward an amendment to the Trade Bill which would have barred any deal which "undermines or restricts" a comprehensive public-funded health service, free at the point of delivery, reports the Mirror.
The amendment would have banned any deal that undermined the ability "to maintain the quality and safety of health or care services".
It would also have legally guaranteed the UK's ability to control the pricing of medicines, and maintained the current level of protection for patient data.

Conservative MPs voted the amendment down - along with a separate Labour bid to keep "chlorine-washed" chicken and other US foods out of the UK.
Ministers insisted the amendments were not needed - as they've repeatedly said no element of the NHS will be up for grabs in a future trade deal, and standards will not be lowered.
That amendment was defeated by 251 votes to 337. Two Tory MPs - Simon Hoare and Neil Hudson - rebelled to vote with Labour.
