Proceeding contribution from Tobias Ellwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 29 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Reforming Civil Justice.
Reforming Civil Justice
Thanks to the blame culture that developed under the last Government, one school in my constituency deemed it necessary to concrete over a very shallow paddling pool, in case a child had an accident and the school were sued. Another school considered cutting down all its trees in case children were to fall out of them, injuring themselves so that the school might be sued. I hope today's statement will be the start of a fresh approach to this compensation culture.
