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


Compensation Bill [Lords]

Conscious of the fact that Hansard is now usable by lawyers in a court, can the Minister confirm what she implicitly confirmed in Committee but has never said explicitly—that the court should take account of the clause where an activity is organised by a voluntary organisation or is perhaps a sporting or educational activity? The clause uses the word ““may”” because desirable activities can be wide-ranging. Should not the court take account of the clause where an activity is in a core area such as that which the Minister described?
