Member for Peckham (Ms. Harman), when he will publish further details of the proposed settlement of the dispute between the Government and people with haemophilia who were infected with the AIDS virus by contaminated blood products supplied by the national health service; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. Virginia BottomleyThe detailed provisions of the proposed settlement are under discussion with the lawyers representing the plaintiffs.
