Compensation Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Bridget Prentice (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 July 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Compensation Bill (HL).
I am disappointed that the hon. Gentleman is trying to make juvenile points—[Interruption.] If he is prepared to listen, I will explain to him one of the simple things about cases in both the Court of Appeal and the House of Lords. Cases are given the title of the person taking the action and the person defending the action. The hon. Gentleman will see that no Government name appears in the case of Barker v. Corus as either the appellant or the defendant. The case was taken by the families against Corus. He should stop trying to make silly interventions and allow us to take a historic decision today that will change the lives of people who are suffering because of a horrible disease.
