Mesothelioma Bill [Lords]

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

Member for North Durham (Mr Jones), the dependants of those who have been affected by this terrible illness will be comp—I nearly used the word “compensated”; we are not supposed to use it. Payments will go to them. It is not the case that no payment will be made just because someone has sadly died. The dependants will get payments as well, and that has to be taken into account. I understand what the hon. Gentleman was saying, but that has to be taken into consideration.
