But where they have not caught up it is our duty to put the situation right. The Minister has more or less conceded that if Jayes v IMI is considered not to be good law, she will reflect on the situation. I accept her undertaking.

We shall consider a key element of contributory negligence, that of being so overcome by the effects of drink or drugs that a person cannot really be responsible for their actions, and the effect that has on contributory negligence. I anticipate that we shall shortly discuss those issues and therefore I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
