A new compensation scheme for victims of asbestos-related illness will be introduced in Guernsey before the end of this States term.

Deputy Matt Fallaize is the president of the Education committee but also a member of the Employment & Social Security committee.

He says better workplace safety legislation should be passed as soon as possible.

A petition for a compensation scheme in Jersey has reached 1,000 signatures.
