Business question from Stephen Hepburn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 4 May 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

My right hon. Friend will be aware of yesterday’s disgraceful decision by the Law Lords to deprive thousands of asbestosis sufferers and their families of their rightful compensation. When will the Minister for Employment and Welfare Reform come to the House to make an early statement so that she can tell us exactly how we are going to legislate to ensure that workers get what they are entitled to and that working class people are not dragged through the courts by multinational insurance companies?
