PLEURAL PLAQUES (No. 2)

That this House welcomes the Prime Minister's recent statement that an announcement will be made soon in relation to the Government's response to the consultation on pleural plaques and the proposed action that will deliver justice to sufferers; recognises that victims who suffer with the condition caused by negligent exposure to asbestos have waited long enough for justice; and believes that the announcement should include the principle of establishing liability following a documented diagnosis to provide the basis for a settlement should there be the development of a fatal asbestos disease.
