Proceeding contribution from Bridget Prentice (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 July 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Compensation Bill (HL).


Compensation Bill [Lords]

Let me clear up the matter once and for all and add to the comments of my hon. Friend the Member for Aberdeen, North (Mr. Doran). The hon. Gentleman suggests that the Government tried to avoid paying compensation. Our ability to introduce amendments so quickly shows that every member of the Government who is involved in the matter recognised the importance of reversing Barker. There was no shilly-shallying about that. It is nonsense to suggest otherwise.
