Mesothelioma Bill [Lords]

Will the right hon. Gentleman accept that of course the insurance industry is going to come in with a heavy hand, arguing that it will take this to court and make legal challenges and that will delay things? We had the same experience with pleural plaques legislation in Northern Ireland. The industry backed down when the legislation went through. Given that the insurance companies have reaped

the benefit of these premiums over the years, is it not up to this House to make sure they pay out proper sums to the victims?
