Compensation Bill [Lords]

That is right, but the HSE does do some rather odd things in terms of its targets. The insurance industry has a vested interest in claiming that there is a compensation culture and in trying to reduce the scope of liability. If that happens in a sudden and unexpected way, the industry gets a windfall profit. Finally, central to my doubts about clause 1 is my view on statutes being used as press releases. I do not think that the clause can do any good, but I suppose it does do some good for the Government, who can say that at least they are trying to do something about a real problem. However, it will not change the real world. We are passing a law and I think the law deserves more respect than that.
