Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether his Department plans to extend compensation payments to the children of people affected by the infected blood scandal who died before they were able to receive payment.

The recommendations of the Infected Blood Inquiry’s second interim report are still under consideration by the Government. I recognise this is a matter of great importance to many in this House, and I was grateful for the opportunity to update the House on this on 22 June.
