§ 24. Mr. TINKERasked the Home Secretary what decision he has arrived at in regard to the inclusion of bursitis in the schedule of industrial diseases for miners' beat knee?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSNo decision has yet been arrived at. As the hon. Member is perhaps aware, a Committee of the Medical Research Council has submitted a Report on miners' beat knee, beat hand and beat elbow, and the question—which is a very technical one—whether any alterations in the present descriptions of these injuries are necessary, is being carefully considered, in the light of that Report. The information in regard to the case which the hon. Member was good enough to bring to my notice, will also be taken into account.
