Compensation Bill [Lords]

I have sympathy with the hon. Gentleman’s position. I have spoken to voluntary organisations in my constituency, as he and others have done in their constituencies. I do not want to commit the Government to something particular on this, but I hope that I can develop some ideas by the time the Bill becomes law, we hope in or around October, so that perhaps we can send out a clear message to voluntary organisations, schools and, indeed, to the public in general, about what the position is as part of our general encouragement to volunteer and not to be afraid to come forward.
