Clause 26 - Claims arising out of water abstraction
Water Bill [Lords]
4:00 pm
Mr Norman Baker (Lewes, Liberal Democrat)
I beg to move amendment No. 201, in
clause 26, page 31, line 29, at end insert
'or to their property or to both'.
First, I want to check that ''damage to another person'' includes, by definition legally, damage to his or her property. I am sure that the Minister can assure me that that is covered, but I just wanted clarification. Secondly, do the rights included in the clause also apply to public bodies? In other words, will the definition of a person include a public body?
