The vigil for justice for Mesothelioma Victims held Monday 22nd September at Labour Party Conference was a really good event. The aim of the event was to promote the campaign for justice for asbestos victims and the need for medical research to prevent future deaths. At the suggestion of the MPs this was done by unveiling our new banner at a vigil held in front of the conference centre on Monday lunchtime. Between thirty and forty family members and people from the support groups came along and were joined by at least thirteen MPs. We have produced t-shirts calling for an agenda for justice and these proved very effective. Jim Sheridan, Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group was there and Kate Green, Shadow Minister for Work and Pensions, spoke and set out what the Labour Party plans were. Everyone who attended thought it was really useful in bolstering support for positive changes to the way sufferers and their families are treated.
