Paddy Tipping (PPS (Rt Hon Jack Straw, Lord Privy Seal), Leader of the House of Commons; Sherwood, Labour)
The hon. Gentleman confuses the argument. He accuses me of saying that the number of cases has gone down because people have been put off activities, but has now admitted that adventure and outdoor training, which is indeed important, is a very small part of the claims total. If we are legislating, we must legislate from fact, which is that claims registered are decreasing, rather than from perception.
