Payment Scheme (Mesothelioma)

Debate between Bob Stewart and Ian Lavery

Monday 17th March 2014 Commons Chamber

[Bob Stewart (Beckenham) (Con)]

I apologise for my ignorance, but once a person has been diagnosed with this dreadful disease should they not go straight to a civil servant and say, “I have been diagnosed with this, what should I do? Can you please help me?” Is that the system that operates at the moment? If it is not, it should be.

[Ian Lavery]

I will second that.
