Proceeding contribution from Peter Bottomley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 26 November 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Social Care Bill.


Health and Social Care Bill

Clearly the Committee, on which I do not expect to serve, would be the place to go into this point in great detail, but has the Secretary of State consulted the judges, who have laid down that if someone's job was at risk, the civil standard of proof would not be high enough? They have laid down that in some serious cases the criminal standard ought to be used.
