8:47 am
which mr michael moore thank you mr speaker for over fifty years the little misers have been campaigning for justice particularly from the german manufacturers. know that over one hundred fifty m.p.'s of signed an open letter to the german chancellor with the prime minister add this to his busy agenda today so that we might get a decent and fair settlement for all concerned. i have on behalf of a constituent and she raised this issue not only through the european parliament but also with german authorities and i'll certainly reflect what the gentleman says . more than one hundred fifty british m.p.'s from all political parties have signed a letter to the german chancellor. unlike germany britain does have a tradition of rebellion when dealing with the little mite the active ingredient in going together. the four hundred sixty six members of the little my trust not just fighting for compensation. they want those responsible for their disabilities to be
8:48 am
held to account nick deal breaker is one of them thinks they have almost succeeded who have which ties and to whom and with his chart to explain the connections to german politicians as well as representatives in the european parliament if they hadn't ended the trial as they did in the early seventy's then the evidence would have been available to the victims to use in their future actions against and others and in particular the u.k. survivors action in the seventy's would have undoubtedly have been ended in a much more favorable fashion to to the claimants as it was they didn't have the evidence they had to settle for a much bigger discount. the amount that they should have gotten would have about have been the case if this evidence being available they would have got a proper settlement and that's what threw them out as they're after now. the british lawyer thinks evidence of that confidential meeting is crucial it took place in july nine hundred sixty nine but the ministry of health and bone. senior

8:50 am
government took place at germany's embassy in london i think they heard the concerns we have they obviously refute the fact that they interfered in the criminal trial but they've never actually answered individually the documents that we put to them. the british m.p. simon hall was also present at the german embassy meeting. because really i think meeting in two hobs the first half i thought was very positive mood music coming out from officials on the on the german side of the table as it were it was very encouraging that they wanted to have a dialogue they wanted to see this brought to a conclusion we had to leave as we had to go back to the commons to vote. and then the notes following that seem to suggest that they slightly dried up like a classroom and it was very much we're not going to get involved with this this is the only meeting we're going to have to discuss this effectively that's the end of the news i think if there was anything which came out of the meeting which we had
8:51 am
at the embassy in july of last year is that there had been a long debate point as to whether the drug which had been taken by british mothers had been manufactured in germany or had been manufactured under license in the u.k. and it is now very clear out that the german officials taking tided the point that the thirty five trust in the u.k. has been making for many a long year that there was no the manufactured in the u.k. and that which was taken by british mothers or expectant mothers have been very attractive to germany. this is knowledge to solidify victims receive decades too late since the one nine hundred seventy s. people affected by so little might have only been able to file compensation applications with the german government anyone who does file an application must renounce all claims against the manufacturer. many european victims say they have received little or no compensation at all.
8:52 am
the federal ministry of family affairs declined to be interviewed. nor would it comment on the meeting with british counter gun victims at the german embassy in london. it stated only that the consequent trust fund grants financial support when claims are grounded. christie and alltel also applied for support. yeah i. don't have one as an instance of one as get. boxed bet. i was going. yeah and it's good bye to how it's one of one. to get in of my macbook. and massengill each task baskets look to see if you shop at the office and just the album you get this will be the one. that he has but i think without it we spend
8:53 am
a third of our lives in our beds our beds are important and for alfred to be turned down on that basis is utterly ridiculous and so it's abundantly clear to me that applying to the context isn't going to be a solution for us at all and so therefore for us to be subjected to a ridiculous system bureaucratic system at this point in our lives it's not going to meet our needs all we need is money that we can use in the ways that we know that will suit us best. the formosa little manufacturer no longer considers claims from the victims of the drug to be the responsibility. the tough. side. want to. buy in because with onion clark. isn't hard to get you double tough and they are fun. to put up for when tiger seeded border. of i know him from life and. supporters not played by grown

until but the federal government. one of many whose applications to the german contra gun foundation were denied his lorraine mercer sometimes i think helped because. back on point. move. some of the late complications are only now becoming apparent mercer need supplementary oxygen just to be able to breeze there is a fund in germany connected to the court against gift which allows the little white has to apply to it for financial assistance there's also a fund that's been set up by agreement to apply to that but you could apply to them saying you wanted some more money but you have to prove first of all you've applied
8:55 am
to a little more trust to get some money and they have said no and that you've applied to all the charities and you've pointed to local government to see if you can get assistance when you've been rejected by everybody you can then ask greene a tough they would like to contribute some money towards your. financial assistance but you're not really aware that because agreement hasn't made it public to a little miters outside of germany in fact the company established a private foundation. however does not want to talk about it nor do they want to discuss how decisions are made they say they don't want to provoke him for. we believe general government should be responsible for paying for those i met health goals that we or have only a few moment get that money remains needs to be met. in great britain so robert nelson is a well known judge has written to the german federal ministry of family affairs.
8:56 am
the purpose of the letter was to bring home to the german government the problems that the flu the midas face and the shortfall in finances that we felt they had in the amount they got and the amount that they would in fact need i wrote it to the relevant minister and there was no reply as such. for decades parents never knew what was going on behind their backs cheering the criminal trial they were only allowed to be spectators. the thalidomide manufacturers defense strategy was to convince the prosecution to agree to dismiss the case. they knew that they didn't just have the regional government justice minister on their side but the federal government too however the dismissal of a criminal case requires strict conditions these according to the prosecution
