Rishi Sunak was heckled by victims and families of the infected blood scandal as he said the Government would continue to delay compensation until the inquiry’s final report.

The Prime Minister was giving evidence after Sir Brian Langstaff, the inquiry chairman, took the unprecedented step of recalling hearings to address the Government’s sluggish response over compensation.

However, Mr Sunak said it was right for the Government to wait until after the inquiry publishes its final report in autumn before announcing its compensation plan, despite fears that more people will die before receiving payments.

Shameful situation, far far too long.
He was out of his depth and doesn't care.

Everything has an independent inquiry, thats Sunak favourite get out of a question answer.
He hasn't a clue and he really doesn't care.

It doesn’t take an inquiry to know when to do the right thing. Suspect they are hoping their will be less people to claim.

What a load of absolute blather coming out of Rishi's mouth. Especially considering the payout for the post office scandal has been agreed when the inquiry hasn't even finished.

That will show him for having absolutely nothing to do with the scandal or inquiry findings at all.
Seriously, why is he there? What purpose can it possibly serve?

I hope he didn't steal from me too. But if he did, he will pay it back. Along with Boris Johnson.
