Mesothelioma Bill [Lords]

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

I am listening intently to the hon. Gentleman’s comments, but I am really disappointed by some of them. I understand him wanting to get more compensation, but the Bill would not be here today without Lord Freud fighting to get time, and this Government getting it on the statute book, which, as the right hon. Member for Newcastle upon Tyne East (Mr Brown) said, is difficult and had not been done previously. Most people who know me know I do not do party politics, but I cannot sit back and say that we have not done our bit because we are doing our bit—that is why we are here today.
