Clause 3
Compensation Bill [Lords]
3:00 pm

Bridget Prentice (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Constitutional Affairs; Lewisham East, Labour)
Maybe, and no doubt when they do, we shall have the opportunity and the flexibility to regulate appropriately. One reason why I cannot yet cite examples is that, to be honest, we do not really know what is out there, which is why we need flexibility. We do not want to overregulate, but if a problem arises we shall have the flexibility to regulate in secondary legislation.
