Proceeding contribution from Earl of Erroll (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 7 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Compensation Bill [HL].


Compensation Bill [HL]

My Lords, if I may intervene, the noble Baroness can probably answer the two points at the same time. I do not understand from the previous discussion why the common law cannot evolve a definition of what is an okay apology and what is not if it is in the Bill. Surely we just proceed and the courts will soon sort it out.
