HC Deb 30 June 1965 vol 715 cc89-90W
37. Mr. Abse

asked the Minister without Portfolio, in view of the fact that the Government statement recognising that the present state of the law and practice of damages for personal injuries is unsatisfactory was made more than four months ago, whether he has now completed his consideration of the form and terms of reference of the proposed inquiry.

Sir Eric Fletcher

My right hon. and learned Friend the Attorney-General indicated on 5th May that this was a question which the Law Commission might well wish to consider when it was set up. The Commissioners' attention has now been drawn to the matter.
