Mesothelioma Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 2 December 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Mesothelioma Bill [Lords].

I agree with my right hon. Friend that the date needs to be put back. Does he agree with the point made by the hon. Members for Chatham and Aylesford (Tracey Crouch) and for South Swindon (Mr Buckland) that, because the date of knowledge is 1969 and most of the claimants are likely to be elderly, there is a reasonable case for putting the start date back at least to 1969 because the number of cases involved will be quite small?
