Compensation Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Nicholas Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Compensation Bill (HL).
I am sorry, but I cannot. I am running out of time. My plea to the House, and to the Government in particular, is for us to be allowed a vote at some stage on whether to return the position to where it was before, or to confirm the new judgment of the House of Lords. I for one would vote for the former, but there is a whole separate set of issues relating to pleural plaque and whether it constitutes an injury. I think that my hon. Friend the Member for Sherwood (Paddy Tipping) was absolutely right to raise the issue, and I agree with him, but the matter is still before the House of Lords and it is probably right for a decision to be made there before we reach our own decision.
