§ 62. Dr. Summerskillasked the Attorney-General whether he is aware that prize fights have in some recent and other cases resulted in the death of a prize fighter; and whether he will take steps to amend or clarify the law so as to establish or enforce the liability of promoters in such cases to pay damages or compensation to dependent relatives.
§ The Attorney-GeneralI assume that the right hon. Lady is referring to boxing contests. I am aware that on very rare occasions fatal accidents occur in them as they do in other popular sports, but I see no need to take the steps suggested in the Question.
