Proceeding contribution from Brian Iddon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 1 July 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Archer Inquiry.


Archer Inquiry

I am grateful to my hon. Friend. When I compared the Irish situation with the UK situation in the House the other day, she said:""I cannot accept the comparison with Ireland, because the Irish blood transfusion service was found to be at fault, and that was not the case here."—[Official Report, 23 June 2009; Vol. 494, c. 656.]" However, will she admit today that the Irish paid out without liability and before any tribunal had met to discuss the position? In addition, Crown immunity applied to the health services in Britain at that time.
