Pneumoconiosis etc. (Workers’ Compensation) (Payment of Claims) (Amendment) Regulations 2025Contribution
The noble Baroness, Lady Stedman-Scott, also made am important point about the future sustainability of the scheme. I am sorry to say that it looks as though we will be dealing with what my noble friend Lady Donaghy described as quite a long tail for some time, so I do not think there is any imminent risk of the schemes becoming unneeded. The scale of deaths that there are still is noticeable.
