Written Question House of Commons
Dame Caroline Dinenage · Conservative Answering body: Cabinet Office
Parliamentary excerpt

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of providing compensation to infected blood victims before the publication of the full report of the Inquiry.

Government answer

Answering body: Cabinet Office
