Minimum Compensation Payments To Former Miners

EDM number 225 in 2004-05, proposed by Jeff Ennis on 30/11/2004.

That this House notes with sadness that solicitors dealing with Miners Compensation Scheme cases for chronic bronchitis and emphysema (CBE) are currently receiving an average fee of ú2,143 per case whilst at the same time almost half the former miners so far compensated have received final settlements of less than that amount, and that over 3,100 former miners have received less than ú200; and calls upon the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry to undertake an urgent review to consider implementing a minimum compensation payment to former miners suffering from CBE of ú1,500.

This motion has been signed by a total of 53 MPs.
