Lord Clarke will give evidence under oath to the contaminated blood scandal inquiry later - the first senior health minister from the time to testify.
Around 3,000 people died after being given blood products containing HIV and hepatitis C in the 1970s and 1980s.

By then officials were already aware of deaths linked to the treatment.
