Proceeding contribution from Lord Henley (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Friday, 5 March 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Damages (Asbestos-related Conditions) Bill [HL].
Damages (Asbestos-related Conditions) Bill [HL]
I never quite know what is the response to the consultation document. We have the Government’s announcement of two weeks ago, which we are told is the response to the consultation. It starts with the Secretary of State for Justice and Lord Chancellor, one Jack Straw, saying that his Ministerial Statement sets out the Government’s decision on the question of compensation for pleural plaques, following their consultation on the issue. That is not the proper response to the consultation, and another document will come out "soon", "shortly" or "in due course".
