Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Paul Goggins and Shailesh Vara

Tuesday 17th December 2013 Commons Chamber

[Paul Goggins (Wythenshawe and Sale East) (Lab)]

The Secretary of State indicated earlier that he was planning a consultation on mesothelioma victims. Does he accept that the review that his Department recently carried out simply did not fulfil the requirements of section 48 of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012?

[Mr Vara]

We had a consultation, and we have come up with the preliminary report. As was said earlier, we will come up with a fuller report in due course.
