Proceeding contribution from Lord Skelmersdale (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 26 February 2009. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Pneumoconiosis etc. (Workers’ Compensation) (Payment of Claims) (Amendment) Regulations 2009.


Pneumoconiosis etc. (Workers’ Compensation) (Payment of Claims) (Amendment) Regulations 2009

My Lords, I think that the Minister has misunderstood my question. He is quite right to say that, in the old days—as, indeed, when I was introducing orders under this scheme many years ago—there was thought to be a 20-year operation before the peak, and that it would then fall away. However, does it make much difference whether it is 20 or 40 years?
