Oral Answers to Questions

Lindsay Hoyle Excerpts

Tuesday 8th June 2010 Commons Chamber

[Mr Gauke]

I hope that the hon. Gentleman will understand that I am not going to be drawn on an individual case without all the information in front of me. He has made his point very clear.

[Mr Lindsay Hoyle (Chorley) (Lab)]

First, would the Minister care to share with the House the date that the cheques will arrive through the doors of those who are still waiting for payment? That is the key. My second question is, as people have, tragically, died while the process has gone on and on, will there be compensation for the families that have missed out as well?

[Mr Speaker]

Order. To ask a second question was very cheeky on the part of an experienced Member, but I know that the Minister will not be tempted to follow suit.
