Proceeding contribution from Baroness Ashton of Upholland (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 20 December 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Compensation Bill [HL].
Compensation Bill [HL]
I always have an open mind on these issues. In discussions with other bodies, I have seen nothing that suggests that I need to use legislation to achieve this. It appears to be much more about strong good practice and clarity of message saying that frivolous claims will not be paid out on, so do not bother. That has made the biggest impact in local government. Although I have an open mind, I have seen nothing heading in my direction to add in legislation that we could not probably achieve better outside.
