Compensation Award Against T&n Plc

EDM number 711 in 1995-96, proposed by John Battle on 02/04/1996.

That this House congratulates the heroic courage of both June Hancock and Evelyn Margereson and their familites in taking to court T&N plc for polluting their Armley neighbourhood with asbestos dust, causing deadly mesothelioma cancers amount local residents; appreciates the initial investigative journalism of Mr Richard Taylor, formerly of the Yorkshire Evening Post newspaper and the persistence of the lawyers, particularly Adrian Budgen and John Pickering, representing the Armley families; pays tribute to the many individuals and families who struggled for justice but did not survive the long process of calling this company to account in the courts; and now calls for the speedy resolution of all other claims against T&N plc by local residents.

This motion has been signed by a total of 55 MPs.
