Proceeding contribution from Lord McKenzie of Luton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 7 July 2008. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Mesothelioma Lump Sum Payments (Conditions and Amounts) Regulations 2008.
Mesothelioma Lump Sum Payments (Conditions and Amounts) Regulations 2008
My Lords, I am most grateful for the support for these measures from both opposition Benches. I shall try and deal with the points raised. I am afraid I do not have to hand the comparison with the Finnish occupational health data, but I shall see what the department has and will revert to that. However, these are often very long latency diseases; we are dealing now with the consequences of exposure decades ago—40 years or sometimes even longer.
