Compensation Bill [Lords]

I am grateful to my hon. Friend the Minister for being willing to debate the phrase ““desirable activity”” at this stage. It may well be an issue to be discussed in Committee. ““Desirable activity”” implies a notion of public good. I am concerned about public services, say accident and emergency units or ambulance services, in which people may work with difficult clients. Does the phrase imply that their conditions of employment and their access to the civil courts will be less at risk than for people not engaged in activities involving the public good?
