Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 26 February 2008. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Pneumoconiosis etc. (Workers’ Compensation) (Payment of Claims) (Amendment) Regulations 2008.


Pneumoconiosis etc. (Workers’ Compensation) (Payment of Claims) (Amendment) Regulations 2008

I thought that I had covered that; apologies if not. The answer is no. I think that we have made a prior commitment to always try to engender a separate debate on this; I think that was the express will of noble Lords at some stage. The key point is that there is a clear government commitment to uprate on an annual basis. However, on that basis we do not feel the need to enshrine it specifically in legislation. On Question, Motion agreed to.
