Mesothelioma Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Howarth of Newport (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 17 July 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Mesothelioma Bill [HL].

The Minister is worried that the employer’s liability insurance will default to the position of litigious opposition to the scheme if we attempt to improve it in these modest ways. Given that insurers have accepted the principle that they should fund a scheme, surely they would have no strong legal case to make in objection. Should he not simply say, “See you in court.”?
