HL Deb 11 October 1999 vol 605 c26WA
Lord Ironside

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether there are any cases currently outstanding for trial in the autumn term of 1999 in respect of High Court proceedings involving plaintiffs in the Legal Aid Board's multi-party action seeking compensation for injuries caused by radiotherapy treatment for breast cancer; and whether any dates have now been set for these trials. [HL4082]

The Lord Chancellor

Although there are no such cases listed for trial in the period specified, in respect of the noble Lord's previous Question answered on 24 May 1999 (WA66), of the four cases then outstanding, two have settled, and in the remaining two a judicial decision was made to fix both cases to be heard between 1 March and 1 June 2000.
