Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 March 2026

Debate

Mesothelioma Lump Sum Payments (Conditions and Amounts) (Amendment) Regulations 2026

Contribution

The Committee will, I am sure, join me in recognising the continued importance of the compensation offered by the 1979 and 2008 Acts schemes. Finally, I am required to confirm that these provisions are compatible with the European Convention on Human Rights, and I am glad to do so. I commend the increases to the payment rates under these two schemes to the Grand Committee and ask for approval of them. I beg to move.
