Clause 1
Compensation Bill [Lords]
9:30 am
Kevan Jones (North Durham, Labour)
The hon. Gentleman shows a great degree of ignorance of compensation and legal cases, because the case involving a young girl being burnt by fat would not succeed unless there was negligence and unless an horrific burn was involved. We are not talking about a splashing of fat out of a fire. I am sorry that he is again using inflammatory language about the idea that there is a compensation culture. We heard on Second Reading and in Committee that there is no evidence for it. I am sure that he and his fellow Liberal Democrats would be the first to cry wolf if, for example, someone was injured on a school trip.
