Clause 45
Child Maintenance and Other Payments Bill
11:45 am
Michael Clapham (Barnsley West and Penistone, Labour)
May I take this opportunity to ask the Minister whether the appeal procedure to which the clause refers will be based on the medical appeal tribunal? Will the medical appeal tribunal be called on to intervene if, for example, the diagnosis is an issue? Will it deal with questions of exposure, or is it intended to introduce a new tribunal procedure? As I see it, the medical appeal tribunal procedure is adequate to deal with such cases.
