Asbestos Law Change Sought in UK
mirror.co.uk
A CAMPAIGN will be launched today to win justice for asbestos victims across the UK.
Under current law, families in England and Wales who lose relatives to the lung disease receive thousands of pounds less than victims in Scotland.
Compensation is set at £10,000 in England while in Scotland widows can get anything up to £50,000.
Ian McFall, of law firm Thompsons, which is leading the campaign, said: "The law must be changed to ensure families are treated the same."
Britain has the highest rate of mesothelioma, caused by asbestos exposure, in the world.
