Welfare Reform Bill

Baroness Fookes Excerpts

Wednesday 26th October 2011 Grand Committee

Committee (8th Day)

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees (Baroness Fookes)]

My Lords, the Grand Committee is in session. If there is a Division in the Chamber, as Members will surely understand by now, we have to adjourn immediately and resume after 10 minutes. There is an additional arrangement. I remind noble Lords that those Members who have registered with the Clerk of the Parliaments may vote in their places in the Grand Committee, provided that they are present in the Grand Committee three minutes after the Question is put in the Chamber. Members who have not registered to do so or who are not here at the three-minute mark must then vote in the usual way. I also remind Members that although they must speak up, please do not touch the microphones.

That deals with the household notices. Let us turn to the Bill.

Health and Safety at Work

Baroness Fookes Excerpts

Monday 4th April 2011 Grand Committee

[Lord Freud]

I should be happy to write a full letter on that point. In conclusion, I am confident that our health and safety changes are a force for good, ensuring that civil justice and health and safety law are applied sensibly. The emphasis should be on addressing real risks and preventing death, injury and ill health to those at work and those affected by work-related activities. I have said before that we will not make the United Kingdom a safer place by wrapping everyone in cotton wool and avoiding all risk; we will do it by delivering a health and safety system that is fair, balanced and proportionate.

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees (Baroness Fookes)]

My Lords, the Committee stands adjourned until 4.30 pm.
