Proceeding contribution from Andrew Dismore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 30 March 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Small Claims (Courts).


Small Claims (Courts)

: The hon. Gentleman obviously has not read the evidence or seen the material produced by my hon. Friend with which she made an extremely cogent case. The day before, a 10-year-old child received severe burns all down her leg and will suffer terrible consequences for the rest of her life. It is the old McDonald's coffee case argument. If people knew the facts of the McDonald's coffee case, they would know that McDonald's had superheated the coffee to such a degree that it caused third-degree burns. Most people do not know the facts.
