What the petition asks
Tens of thousands of people have died in the UK from mesothelioma and tens of thousands more will die in the future from it. UK Governments' have a lamentable record on providing research funding that could give victims the chance of life. It is time to stop writing victims off - give them hope.
The Government is saving millions of pounds under the provisions of the Mesothelioma Act, and these savings should be used for mesothelioma research purposes.
