Rights Of Those With Pleural Plaques

EDM number 242 in 2009-10, proposed by Michael Clapham on 25/11/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Diseases and Industrial health and safety.

That this House accepts expert evidence that pleural plaques represent a change to the anatomy of the sufferer evidenced by the abnormal scarring caused by the permanent physical penetration of asbestos fibres; believes the Law Lords ruling that physiological damage as well as anatomical damage is necessary for an injury to constitute actionable damage is clearly inconsistent with other areas of personal injury; notes that many sufferers of the condition would receive compensation if the scarring was on the outside of the body; and calls on the Secretary of State for Justice to restore the status quo ante to allay the strong sense of injustice felt by sufferers who have sustained asbestos exposure through their employers' negligence and have been unable to proceed with a court action since the Law Lords decision of October 2007.

This motion has been signed by a total of 94 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
