An error has been identified in the written answer given to the hon. Member for Barnsley, West and Penistone (Mr. Clapham) on 23 April 2008. The third paragraph should have read as follows:

“For this reason, we intend that we will not apply the 12 month time limit to claims to the new mesothelioma scheme from sufferers during the scheme’s first year of operation”.
