Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme (UK Covid-19 Inquiry) Bill

Labour will act on the findings of the Infected Blood Inquiry and respond to the Grenfell and Covid-19 Inquiries.

The bill text directly addresses one part of the promise: responding to the Covid-19 Inquiry. Specifically, the long title states the bill would 'require the Secretary of State to publish proposals for the implementation of Recommendation 5 of Module 4 of the UK Covid-19 Inquiry, relating to the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme'. This constitutes a response to at least one finding of the Covid-19 Inquiry. However, the promise also includes acting on the findings of the Infected Blood Inquiry and responding to the Grenfell Inquiry. The bill text makes no mention of either the Infected Blood Inquiry or the Grenfell Inquiry, addressing only a specific recommendation from the Covid-19 Inquiry. Therefore, the bill only partially fulfils the promise.
