Lords Ruling On Pleural Plaques

EDM number 2182 in 2006-07, proposed by Michael Clapham on 23/10/2007.

That this House is disappointed by the Lords of Appeal Judgment in the pleural plaque cases given on 17th October; believes that pleural plaques caused by exposure to asbestos result in physiological damage which constitutes a loss of faculty which has an effect on the individual's wellbeing and may cause anxiety about further complications; and thus calls on the Secretary of State for Justice to introduce legislation to overturn the Lords' judgment because it is now clear that workers suffering the condition will not get justice in the courts.

This motion has been signed by a total of 47 MPs.
