Proceeding contribution from Gwyneth Dunwoody (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 3 December 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill.


Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill

In Crewe, we have a whole generation—two or three generations, in fact—who after the war spent a great deal of time stripping down engines that had all been filled with asbestos, and I am sorry to say that I have lost a whole group of men in the 50s and 60s age group. For those coming up behind who have this dire prospect in front of them it is very worrying not to know whether they will be able to get compensation, because once those works began to be cut down many of them moved into completely different engineering fields.
