Proceeding contribution from Baroness Ashton of Upholland (Labour) 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 hope that we are looking at single figures, because the regulation will work effectively and we shall be working with organisations and companies that are doing their very best. I do not have an estimate, for obvious reasons, but the flexibility in the Bill enables the regulator to play a prominent role in prosecutions, if that is appropriate, bearing in mind their expertise. I think I also made it clear that if there is a very small number, they may work much more closely with the Crown Prosecution Service for exactly the reasons that the noble Lord has indicated.
