The noble Baroness, Lady Brinton, asked whether there are any other areas behind restate and expand. I hope not. As I said in my opening speech, I recognise that the infected blood community will be disheartened to hear about that regrettable error. We genuinely believe that there are no further errors in this SI, but accountability and transparency are crucial for the Government—in the context of this scandal, they are imperative. This is why I want to reassure the House that these regulations have been fully scrutinised. I hope that acting so transparently about what we found will lead to some level of reassurance that we will take this seriously.
