Legal Charges For Coal Health Compensation Claims (EDM818)

Legal Charges For Coal Health Compensation Claims

EDM number 818 in 2003-04, proposed by Denis Murphy on 12/03/2004.

That this House expresses its continued concerns about solicitors who charge clients in addition to the costs paid by the Department of Trade and Industry; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to ensure that all solicitors sign an undertaking guaranteeing that they will not levy any charges from the compensation paid to miners, former miners or their families in respect of coal health claims, and that the Department of Trade and Industry does not make any payments to solicitors until such an undertaking has been signed.

This motion has been signed by a total of 43 MPs.
