Proceeding contribution from Andrew Dismore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 13 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Health and Safety (Offences) Bill.


Health and Safety (Offences) Bill

Well, I am not sure that it is that different. In a compensation claim, the chances of an employee being sued are pretty slim because they have not got any money. As a personal injury lawyer, the basic rule was, ““Don’t sue anybody who ain’t got no money or insurance.””
