That this House is concerned that the implications of the decision by the Court of Appeal on 8 October 2010 will be that many victims of asbestos-related disease will die without the certainty that their families will be entitled to compensation; agrees thatit is the exposure to asbestos that can lead to the development of fatal diseases such as mesothelioma and that the trigger must therefore be the point of exposure and not, as challenged by the insurance industry, the point the disease develops, which can be many decades later; further agrees with the High Court ruling in 2008 that the insurers who should pay compensation are those who provided cover to the employer at the time of the asbestos exposure; notes this is the latest of many attacks by the insurance industry on compensation for working people who were negligently exposed to deadly asbestos; and calls on the Association of British Insurers to take action against any of its memberswho are challenging the established trigger that is the point of exposure and support the establishment of an Employers' Liability Insurance Bureau.

That this House notes that the Construction Industry Joint Council (CIJC) employers have failed to offer a pay rise this year; further notes that the 500,000 to 600,000 workers governed by the agreement have not received a pay increase since 2008; further notes that the failure to offer a pay rise means that the lowest paid general operatives rate for labourers is just 7.75 an hour and is now lower than the London Living Wage of 7.85 an hour; believes that employers are treating hard-working construction workers with contempt; calls on all construction contractors, particularly those operating in London and the South East and especially those operating on all Olympic-related projects, to ensure that all construction workers are paid a minimum rate of equivalent of the London Living Wage; and calls onCIJCemployers to return to the negotiating table and to offer a reasonable pay rise to all affected construction workers this year.
