Compensation For Miners

EDM number 26 in 2000-01, proposed by Elfyn Llwyd on 06/12/2000.

That this House notes the recent moves taken by the Government to speed up the payment of compensation for miners, including the recruitment of new doctors and the opening of new centres; stresses the continued suffering of ex-miners who are still waiting for their payment; calls on the Government to ensure the process is speeded up further; calls on the Government to distribute the miners' pension surplus more fairly; urges the Government to make these payments in addition to the compensation; deprecates the attempts by the Compensation Recovery Unit to deduct benefit payments previously received by the miners from the compensation; and calls upon the Government to act urgently on all of these matters.

This motion has been signed by a total of 30 MPs.
