COMPENSATION FOR THALIDOMIDE VICTIMS

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.
