<p>On 17th April, the Government tabled amendments to the Victims and Prisoners Bill
which include a statutory duty to make interim payments of £100,000 to estates of

(where previous interim payments have not already been made to infected individuals
or their bereaved partners). This is an important step forward to get substantial
compensation into the hands of families of victims of infected blood.</p>
