Contaminated Blood

Debate between Diana Johnson and Oliver Heald

Tuesday 11th July 2017 Commons Chamber

[Diana Johnson]

Just like every other Member, I have only seen what is out in the media, and I understand that there will be a consultation on the form of the inquiry. I am sure that the Minister will be able to help us in his contribution.

[Sir Oliver Heald (North East Hertfordshire) (Con)]

I join in the tributes to the hon. Lady and the all-party group, of which I have been a member, because this is an example of how Parliament can work well. There is a family in Letchworth who said to me:

“As a family, we have suffered years of misery because of this scandal.”

Does the hon. Lady agree that it is right to consult the victims and their families on the form of the inquiry?
