Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Jeff Ennis (Labour), on Tuesday, 30 November 2004, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 53 members in total.
MINIMUM COMPENSATION PAYMENTS TO FORMER MINERS
That this House notes with sadness that solicitors dealing with Miners Compensation Scheme cases for chronic bronchitis and emphysema (CBE) are currently receiving an average fee of ??2,143 per case whilst at the same time almost half the former miners so far compensated have received final settlements of less than that amount, and that over 3,100 former miners have received less than ??200; and calls upon the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry to undertake an urgent review to consider implementing a minimum compensation payment to former miners suffering from CBE of ??1,500.
