Mesothelioma Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Walney (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 January 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Mesothelioma Bill [Lords].

My right hon. Friend is absolutely right in what he says. I, too, want briefly to add my tribute to our right hon. Friend the Member for Wythenshawe and Sale East (Paul Goggins). I know many other Members have done so, but this is a fitting time to do so.

Does my right hon. Friend the Member for Newcastle upon Tyne East (Mr Brown) agree that the people we are discussing served their country for many years? Barrow and Furness has the highest incidence of mesothelioma in this country. They served their country in making what they did and they deserve justice now, and this is our opportunity to give it to them.
