Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 March 2025

Debate

Infected Blood Compensation Scheme Regulations 2025

Contribution

There is also the issue of transparency. The Government have committed £11.8 billion to the scheme. Can the Minister tell the House whether this is still the Government’s best estimate of the costs associated with the compensation scheme? Have the Government published a “should cost” model? Will they update the House on what that model said and, given the uncertainties about the number of future claimants, will the Government share their calculations with the OBR?
