Business question from David Hamilton (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 December 2005. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
This morning, a paper reviewing the coal health compensation schemes was laid in the Library. Like many others, I welcome that report, which indicates that between £5 billion and £7 billion will potentially be paid out in compensation to miners’ widows and retired miners. However, I am sure that hon. Members will be as angry as me when they read the report and find out that an estimated £1.6 billion will be paid out to solicitors. Will the Leader of the House make time available to debate that issue?
