Compensation Bill [HL]

My Lords, the noble Lord has been very generous in understanding what we seek to do, which is to ensure, as is our responsibility, that we did not accidentally catch someone in the wake of this legislation. I was privy and party to the conversations between the parliamentary counsel and the noble Lord, Lord Goodhart, most of which I did not understand, because it was lawyer to lawyer, but which I believe gave him an opportunity to put his arguments. I consulted my noble and learned friend today because I stand by my instinct in Committee, and I accept the amendment.
