PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
COMPENSATION FOR THALIDOMIDE VICTIMS (19 July 2015)

Motion Details

That this House notes that the campaign to persuade the German government to provide adequate compensation for victims of Thalidomide is at a crucial stage; recognises that this compensation is needed to cover the medical costs of their condition which occurred as a result of the drug manufactured by the German company Grünenthal; and urges the Prime Minister and his Government colleagues to continue to provide all the support they can to assist the victims' ongoing fight for justice.
