Proceeding contribution from Julian Brazier (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Compensation Bill (HL).


Compensation Bill [Lords]

The fact is that these cases do not occur only occasionally; the problem is that they keep on arising. The scouts are one of the few voluntary organisations that have the resources to fight such cases. If clause 1 is strengthened, as I and others have argued, so that it states ““shall”” rather than ““may””, and it is clear that Parliament wants to point specifically to sport and adventure training and related activities such as educational trips, that will at least send a signal to judges of the relevant calibre.
