Speaking in the House of Lords on 11 December 2025

Debate

Infected Blood Compensation Scheme (Amendment) Regulations 2025

Contribution

“I have further recommended that no account be taken when calculating compensation of any past payment from a support scheme or one of the preceding trusts and charities. Put simply, all such payments were ex gratia, were without any admission of liability, and were never intended to be compensation. In any event, the inquiry required to establish the full detail of support payments would be burdensome to all, and in some cases impossible because of lost or inaccessible records”.
