Proceeding contribution from Oliver Heald (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 July 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Compensation Bill (HL).


Compensation Bill [Lords]

I have already set out one or two examples, but I should like to give another—the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine. If somebody was worried about the risk from the MMR vaccine, could they not bring a claim under new clause 7? The situation would be similar with almost anything else, such as exhaust fumes or particulates. If there was anything that a person was worried about, they could bring a claim under that provision. Does the hon. Gentleman really think that that is sensible?
