Lord Agnew of Oulton
My Lords, most SMEs have what is called a combined business insurance policy, which includes such things as indemnity limits for public liability. I am therefore comfortable that that would be covered, but that of course would be up to the employer to check.
Lord Haselhurst (Con)
My Lords, is my noble friend aware of the college that has been set up with the co-operation of Stansted Airport and Essex County Council, which provides on-the-spot opportunities in technical training for people in the locality. Should we not hope to see that example followed in many other places?
Lord Agnew of Oulton
My Lords, I am not aware of that excellent opportunity but I hope that it will provide inspiration to other employers.
