Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 March 2025

Debate

Pneumoconiosis etc. (Workers’ Compensation) (Payment of Claims) (Amendment) Regulations 2025

Contribution

It is notable that deaths due to pneumoconiosis have been lower following the pandemic. The HSE reported 54 deaths in 2023 and 50 in 2022. That compares to 130 a year in the 10 years to 2019, so we will see where that goes, but that gives my noble friend some sense of the trends there.
