We, the undersigned, Want the Mesothelioma Bill Changed

Dear Lord Freud

I believe the 2013 Mesothelioma Bill needs to be changed. The Bill should help all those suffering, not just those diagnosed after 25th July 2012. Above all it should ensure people get 100% of the compensation they are entitled to, not 70% as currently planned.

Please amend this Bill and make sure sufferers get 100% Justice.

The Mesothelioma Bill which provides for payments to mesothelioma sufferers who cannot trace their insurers has commenced in the House of Lords.
 
Asbestos victims support groups have called on to government to improve the Bill which provides for payments of 70% compensation instead of 100% and imposes an arbitrary cut off date of 25 July 2012 so that all those diagnosed with mesothelioma before that date are not eligible for a payment.
