Compensation Bill [HL]

Is the Minister aware that the word ““desirable”” appears in the judgment of the Appellate Committee? The noble and learned Lord, Lord Hoffmann, in his judgment, refers to ““desirable””, but in the context of what would be desirable growth. He determined that the word ““desirable”” was less forceful. It came below ““essential”” and ““highly desirable””, coming straight after that. Was the Minister aware of that discussion about the word ““desirable”” and does it have any significance in her choosing that word in the phrase ““desirable activity””?
