Proceeding contribution from Earl Attlee (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 20 December 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Severe Winter Weather.


Severe Winter Weather

My Lords, there is not a niggardly approach to distributing the salt. As for pavements, local people can clear them. The Statement that I repeated referred to the fact that people can clear the pavement if they want to. But the noble Lord is right to raise the issue of increased levels of injury through slipping. It is a big problem. A fall for people in their later years can be very serious indeed.
