HC Deb 14 December 1976 vol 922 cc631-2W
Mr. David Price

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what plans he has to introduce a scheme to compensate victims of vaccine damage; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alfred Morris

As I indicated in my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Liverpool, Garston (Mr. Loyden) on 27th July, the Royal Commission on Compensation and Civil Liability is studying evidence from interested bodies on the question of compensation for vaccine damage and any decision on this matter will have to await their report. [Vol. 916, c. 221–22.]

I understand that the Royal Commission expects to report next year.
