Treatment Of Mesothelioma Victims

EDM number 2252 in 2005-06, proposed by Michael Clapham on 24/05/2006.

That this House is most concerned at the implications of the Barker case that has changed the law as it applies to mesothelioma victims; notes the reduction of compensation for negligent exposure where more than two companies were responsible and it proves impossible to bring a claim against all of them; observes that liability will be confined to the extent that it had increased the risk of developing mesothelioma and that other factors such as length of time of exposure and type of asbestos may be taken into account; considers that after 1965 no manufacturer can claim not to have known about the dangers of asbestos; and calls on the Government to bring forward legislation to restore fairness for mesothelioma victims.

This motion has been signed by a total of 98 MPs.
