That is what I said. As an Acting Chairman, I realise he cannot come back, but he would like to do so.

I am very supportive of the Personal Injuries Assessment Board Bill, as is the House. I predict that the aspect of the Bill under discussion will be amended in the other House because I know the reaction to it around the country. To make the Bill work, one needs the goodwill of the legal profession and the family lawyers. They will know the procedures and advise their clients to submit their claims to the board as quickly as possible. The board will deal with them. The family lawyers will be paid by their clients.
