Paddy Tipping (PPS (Rt Hon Jack Straw, Lord Privy Seal), Leader of the House of Commons; Sherwood, Labour)
That is not precisely the case, but my hon. Friend the Member for Barnsley, West and Penistone (Mr. Clapham) talked about the case that has been prepared for surface workers. There is also a long-standing matter about cases on beat knee or miner’s knee, which will not be insured. It will be necessary for the trade union to provide the initial funding to take the cases forward.
