Proceeding contribution from Baroness Finlay of Llandaff (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 29 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Road Safety Bill [HL].

Road Safety Bill [HL]

My Lords, I, too, apologise for not being able to be in attendance at the Committee stage. I add my support to the spirit behind the amendments. I remind the House that we are not only talking about lives lost in terms of deaths and lives lost in terms of major injury, but also about lives damaged by minor injury. Such an injury—for example, facial scarring—may appear minor but the person has to live with it forever. This also has a cost, both for our health services and within society. All of these factors need to be counted in.
