Damages (Asbestos-related Conditions) Bill [HL]

One reason for my expressing considerable caution is the whole problem of potential costs. My understanding is that the Government had estimated costs to all parties of somewhere between £4 billion and £28 billion, which is a pretty wide range. That is why I put that question to the Minister. I was hoping for an answer which might help us in this debate. Perhaps we will get it in due course.
