The Paymaster General, the Rt Hon Michael Ellis MP, has made a statement about the compensation framework study carried out by Sir Robert Francis.

Sir Brian has written to the minister about publication. He notes that the report will need to be available no less than four weeks ahead of the hearing date to enable participants to read and discuss the proposals and allow core participants to suggest lines of questioning in the usual way.
The compensation framework study is one of the issues for oral evidence this summer along with vCJD, government decision-making and the response of governments, and candour, openness and cover-up.
