Opened the debate

Chris Bryant Lab Rhondda and Ogmore

My Bill was only going to force the Government to have a strategy on acquired brain injury. As the Government are going to have such a strategy, and I am very fond of the Minister who is going to be co-chairing a panel that is being set up, there does not seem any need for the legislation, so I am not going to move it.
