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


Health Bill

My Lords, I wish that the noble Lord would listen to what I am saying. When a vehicle is driven by an individual and not shared with anybody else, it is not covered by the provisions; when the vehicle is shared with somebody else and is a workplace, that other worker is entitled to the same protection as a worker in a non-mobile workplace. That is a coherent and consistent point of view that the Government are arguing in this legislation. I have to say that it is those who are arguing against the provision who do not have consistency between mobile and non-mobile workplaces.
