I need to clarify for my hon. Friend that industrial injuries benefits still have a work component, as I think that he recognises. If a person has contracted mesothelioma through another route, they are not entitled to the industrial injuries benefit that he mentioned earlier. Certainly, however, I shall reflect on the point that he made about not reinventing the wheel, because not doing so is a valuable rule to follow.
