Proceeding contribution from David Hamilton (Labour) 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 listened carefully to the hon. Gentleman. Can he give me an example of any other panhandlers or lawyers who raise cases on behalf of the work force that they represent? For example, it took a lot of money for the NUM to go to law on industrial deafness and vibration white finger cases. The NUM has raised £1.2 million in certain areas—remember, it is a federation of unions—and requires £2.4 million for new litigation. What organisations other than unions do that?
