Proceeding contribution from Earl of Liverpool (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 19 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health Bill.


Health Bill

My Lords, I support both the amendments that have been spoken to. In Grand Committee, I asked the Minister about convertible cars. His answer to me at the time was that he suspected that most convertible cars were private vehicles, but I have to tell them that there is a plethora of convertible cars around and a large proportion of those are owned by companies for the use of their employees or leased by a member of staff. It is not an insignificant amount so we need further clarification on whether a convertible car owned by a company is caught within this legislation when its roof is up but not when its roof is down. I look forward to the Minister giving more clarification on that.
