Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Peter Robinson (Democratic Unionist Party), on Thursday, 3 March 1994, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 55 members in total.
THALIDOMIDE VICTIMS
That this House notes that Mrs Kim Morton of Gilnakirk, Belfast, has begun a hunger strike in a bid to win appropriate compensation for thalidomide victims; recognises the grave injustice to more than 400 other victims who were forced to accept paltry compensation payments which were grossly inadequate to pay for a lifetime's disability; believes that Her Majesty's Government should institute a public independent enquiry; and calls upon the Prime Minister to initiate such action so that justice can be attained for thalidomide victims.
