Proceeding contribution from Lord Monson (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, I, too, have an attraction to the amendment. As I understand it, as a non-lawyer, it would not take one back to the pre-1984 position, in so far as it would apply only to those who trespassed with a view to committing a crime. It would not cover simple trespass, whereby someone wandered on to land accidentally or without any intention of committing crime. That is desirable and, for that reason, I wholly support the amendment.
