Liberal Democrat — Mid Sussex

Speaking in the House of Commons on 23 October 2024

Debate

Infected Blood Compensation Scheme

Contribution

I do agree. My hon. Friend is right that ensuring that compensation comes forward is of the utmost importance. I am sure it will be coming forward, but the urgency with which it does so is the key point here. I end by emphasising the anguish that Graham and countless other victims still hold and carry with them every day. It is deep-seated, and it will not go away until the matter is settled and the payments are concluded. Urgency is now required to right this 40-year wrong.
