HC Deb 16 December 1993 vol 234 cc814-5W
Mr. Tyler

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if her Department will bear the cost of defending the unfair dismissal case brought by the former chairman of the Cornwall Community healthcare trust, Admiral Sir Godfrey Milton-Thompson, and of the ex gratia settlement to him.

Dr. Mawhinney

We have already done so.

Mr. Tyler

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if her Department will defend any action brought by the former chairman of the Cornwall community healthcare trust, Mrs. Abigail Kirby-Harris, and will be prepared to entertain any claim made by her.

Dr. Mawhinney

No action has been filed against the Department by Mrs. Abigail Kirby-Harris. We see no reason why it should be.
