Compensation Bill [Lords]

We would all support the end of cowboy practices in the sector. However, it is important to companies such as the National Accident Helpline, which is in my constituency, that the Bill create as level a playing field as possible. Given the good reputation of trade unions that has been mentioned by Labour Members, should not the burden of proof be the other way round? Should not the Bill cover everyone? If trade unions and others have a good reputation, they could then prove why they should be exempt.
