According to the Swindon Advertiser, workers in the area suffering from mesothelioma will be receiving their settlements a bit more quickly. Work and Pensions Secretary John Hutton said his department would work with HM Revenue and Customs and the Association of British Insurers. This decision will overturn a motion made by the Lords that would have caused mesothelioma patients to have ended up receiving smaller payments and to seek out individual previous employers to get compensation from each.
