Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will take steps to expedite compensation for those affected by the infected blood scandal.

The Government will respond in full to Sir Brian Langstaff’s recommendations on compensation following the publication of the Inquiry’s final report. Additionally, we will bring forward amendments at Report Stage of the Victims and Prisoners Bill in the Other Place with the intention of speeding up the implementation of the Government’s response to the Infected Blood Inquiry.
