Proceeding contribution from Lord Thomas of Gresford (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Friday, 11 December 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Contaminated Blood (Support for Infected and Bereaved Persons) Bill [HL].


Contaminated Blood (Support for Infected and Bereaved Persons) Bill [HL]

Does the Minister appreciate that it is unlikely that Crown immunity applied in Ireland when actions were brought against the state for what it had done? Ireland recognised its responsibility by holding a public inquiry, which found fault. That is something that this Government have never done.
