Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 July 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Compensation Bill (HL).
Compensation Bill [Lords]
What my hon. Friend describes so vividly and helpfully is possibly legal but morally reprehensible and should be tackled. However, does he acknowledge that thousands of claims in constituencies such as mine have been handled not through the Union of Democratic Mineworkers but a large local firm of solicitors—I spent some hours with them last Friday—and through the local branch of the National Union of Mineworkers, and that the position there is not as sinister and unacceptable as the one that he describes?
