HC Deb 10 January 1978 vol 941 c686W
19. Mr. Adley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will now issue guidelines for the qualifying criteria by which people may claim compensation for vaccine-damage on their dependants' behalf, in advance of the Pearson Report.

Mr. Ennals

No. We cannot reach conclusions about qualifying criteria for, or about other detailed aspects of, a compensation scheme until we have considered the report of the Royal Commission.
