There were lots of questions with regard to the unethical research award and the scope, and I hope noble Lords will indulge my time slightly. The noble Baroness, Lady Finlay, was absolutely right to raise this issue. The unethical research award was developed following a recommendation from Sir Robert Francis’s engagement exercise with the infected blood community in June last year. The Government accepted the recommendation in August and have developed the exact scope of this award since that point.
