Coalition Legislation And Social Action, Responsibility And Heroism Bill

EDM number 501 in 2014-15, proposed by Paul Flynn on 10/11/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Administration of justice, Industrial health and safety, Voluntary organisations and Personal injury.

That this House believes that a coalition bill will become a major landmark in legislative futility; further believes that the Social Action, Responsibility and Heroism Bill described by the hon. Member for Beaconsfield, a former Conservative Attorney General, as utter tosh is designed to create volunteers and heroes by legislation; salutes the intention of Lord Lloyd to move against all three clauses of the bill so that only the title will remain; is alarmed that responsible bodies warn that the bill could do harm, including the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers who say the bill will put vulnerable people at risk and the leading law firm Slater and Gordon who described the bill as pointless and potentially dangerous; calls on the Government to avoid the derision from judges that a former Conservative Solicitor General said will be provoked and drop this lamentable headline-seeking example of crude populism.

This motion has been signed by a total of 3 MPs.
