Compensation Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Oliver Heald (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Compensation Bill (HL).
As the hon. Lady knows, one of the largest groups of claims farmers are trade unions, which make their money from referrals to solicitors—often at about £500 per referral—and take money from damages in some cases. Many unions do an excellent job, but does she agree that for trade unions to be completely unregulated in this field, while she is saying that the commercial sector should be completely regulated, is nonsense?
