Business question from Michael Clapham (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 October 2007. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
I listened with interest to the Leader of the House's reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Jarrow (Mr. Hepburn). I know that she has not had time to study the judgment, but, having looked at it, I can tell her that it recognises that pleural plaques cause a physiological change, but cruelly decides that the people affected should not be compensated. Will she therefore ask the Secretary of State for Justice to consider bringing forth legislation quickly to overturn the Lords decision because it is quite clear that this group of workers will not get justice in the courts?
