Tables showing the number of claims received and costs paid as at December 2010 to claimants' solicitors handling claims under the Coal Health Compensation schemes for vibration white finger (VWF) and for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) will be made available in the Libraries of the House, which will provide breakdown by legal firm and the total amount paid to each firm.
