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 have had my own experiences with the Attorney General when I was a Minister in Northern Ireland; I am sure other colleagues have as well. The difference between what is happening here today and what happened in Northern Ireland was that we have done a deal with the insurance companies before proposing the Bill rather than, as in the negotiations on pleural plaques, there not being a deal, so the legislation had to be forced through. That is the real difference; we have an agreement that will not affect businesses or premiums and will allow us to get the money through.
