Legal Aid: Gulf War Veterans and Sheep Farmers ( 6 Jun 2000)

Lord Irvine of Lairg: ...Gulf War and the sheep farmers' multi-party actions were originally, as has been noted, handled by Dawburns, a Norfolk firm. That firm was also handling a third multi-party action involving alleged damage caused by a vaccine. The facts of what happened are these.

Lord McNally: ...that legislation should not seek to make outlaws of individual consumers, or for that matter innocent landowners. But we must not shut our eyes to large-scale organised crime, which is doing great damage to our creative industries. What is the point of having ideas, if some crook can just wait for a designer or entrepreneur to put in all the work and investment and then copy what people do...

Susan Deacon: I am grateful to have the opportunity to inform Parliament of the arrangements in Scotland for the introduction of a new vaccine to protect our children against meningitis C.

Vaccine Damage (Compensation) ( 2 Dec 1998)

John Denham: ...to the House. It is a complex and emotive subject, and my hon. Friend spoke clearly and with great sensitivity.

Orders of the Day — Social Security Bill: Vaccine Damage Payments: Decisions Superseding Earlier Decisions (13 May 1998)

Mr Keith Bradley: These technical amendments relate to the vaccine damage payments scheme. I hope that hon. Members will allow me to present them as a set rather than individually. Amendment No. 59 is a minor amendment to clause 45. Clause 45 inserts a new section 3A into the Vaccine Damage Payments Act 1979. In effect, it replaces section 5, which deals with reconsideration of the Secretary of State's...

We do not need five: we need only one, but we have the social security appeal tribunal, the child support appeal tribunal, the medical appeal tribunal, the disability appeal tribunal and the vaccine damage tribunal.

Prayers: Badgers ( 3 Nov 1995)

Mr James Spicer: ...that any other person who attended them did not do likewise—with the certainty that badgers are a cause of bovine TB. All too often, people say, "We must preserve every badger, so we must have a vaccine." It is my understanding, however, that we shall not have an effective vaccine before the year 2005, at the earliest, and that it is more likely to be 2010—and then only if enormous...
