Compensation Bill [HL]

I am grateful to the Minister. I welcome the statement that she has made about what the Government intend to do by way of exempting professional bodies from the effects of this Bill. While obviously I will wait to see what we get in the way of progress, particularly on the matter covered by the amendment put down by the noble Lord, Lord Hunt of Wirral. I do not think that I will bring my amendments back at a future date. I hope that some progress will be made on the amendment of the noble Lord, Lord Hunt. It could be that if he was to bring it back, we would support it. I beg leave to withdraw Amendment No. 52. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 53 and 54 not moved.]
