Proceeding contribution from Lord Skelmersdale (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 25 March 2008. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Legislative Reform (Health and Safety Executive) Order 2008.


Legislative Reform (Health and Safety Executive) Order 2008

The Minister is being unusually unkind in that explanation. I was talking about those accidents that are currently successfully sue-able—in other words compensable—and which were almost entirely the fault of the individual whom the accident befell. Clearly, I am not talking about something where the responsibility is 90 per cent or more on the employer or former employer; if he is talking about pneumoconiosis, for example.
