Stuart Cantrill from Cambridge’s father Barrie was one of the 3,000 people in the UK who died after being given blood products infected with hepatitis C or HIV between the 1970s and the early '90s.

He died in 1989 at the age of 48.

Stuart, who was 15 when lost his father, has given a witness statement in the government’s inquiry, which will be published soon.

He says he wants a genuine acceptance of what happened.

A government spokesperson said: “This was an appalling tragedy, and our thoughts remain with all those impacted.

“We are clear that justice needs to be delivered for the victims and have already accepted the moral case for compensation.

“This covers a set of extremely complex issues, and it is right we fully consider the needs of the community and the far-reaching impact that this scandal has had on their lives.

"The Government will provide an update to Parliament on next steps through an oral statement within 25 sitting days of the Inquiry’s final report being published."
