In England On 25 February 2010, the government stated that it will not overturn the October 2007 House of Lords ruling regarding pleural plaques compensation claims.
As a result, It is not possible to claim compensation for pleural plaques in England. However, in Scotland, The Damages (Asbestos-Related Conditions) (Scotland) Bill enables victims to continue to claim compensation through the courts for pleural plaques, pleural thickening and asbestos-related conditions.
This is obviously unfair to suffers in England, and needs to be changed.
We, the undersigned, call on the government to reinstate pleural plaques (Asbestos-Related Condition) compensation claims in England.
