HC Deb 02 May 1923 vol 163 c1369
55. Mr. HANCOCK

asked the Minister of Health the number of cases of industrial poisoning for each of the last three years, and how many were fatal?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I have been asked to reply to this question. If, as I presume, the hon. Member refers to the industrial diseases notifiable under the Factory and Workshop Act, the numbers are as follows: In 1920 there were 514, of which 38 were fatal; in 1921 there were 350, of which 32 were fatal; and in 1922 there were 410, of which 35 were fatal.

Forward to
