Business of the House

My constituent David Fielding was one of those haemophiliacs, referred to by the hon. Member for Somerton and Frome (Mr. Heath), who contracted the hepatitis C virus as a result of a national health service blood transfusion. His brother, Brian, actually died from it, and as a result David has led a vigorous campaign for a public inquiry into what has become known as "tainted blood". I was pleased to hear what my right hon. and learned Friend said earlier about Lord Archer of Sandwell's very important report, but may I be audacious enough to suggest to her that it would be better if we had a full debate so that all its content could be fully explored in this Chamber, rather than a statement from the Secretary of State followed by questions?
