HC Deb 19 January 1981 vol 997 c58W
Mr. Craigen

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland, pursuant to his further reply of 12 January 1981, if he will ask the Scottish Law Commission to examine the question of disparities in compensation for industrial injuries between awards made by courts in Scotland and in England for similar injury claims.

Mr. Rifkind

The actual amounts appropriate to be awarded in damages cases are not being currently considered by the commission, and my right hon. Friend would not feel justified is asking it to do so.
