I propose to take Questions Nos. 11 and 12 together.
Four sets of parents have accepted the ex gratia payments offered. A total of 38 additional applications has been submitted for consideration by the Expert Medical Group since the announcement of the group's findings in July 1982. The ages of the applicants and the years of vaccination, where known, are set out on a table which I propose to circulate in the Official Report. It will be seen that the number of these vaccinated after 1975 is 3. A report on one applicant has yet to be submitted by the expert group and, as soon as this has been received, I will communicate the findings to each parent in respect of their child.
The chairman of the group discussed the reports with the parents of a number of persons who were examined prior to July 1982. As a result of these discussions, the group re-examined some of the reports, the results of which re-examinations were communicated by the chairman of the group to the parents concerned.
Following is the table referred to.
