§ 66. Sir RICHARD LUCEasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether any conclusion has yet been come to in the matter of establishing a more satisfactory definition of miners' nystagmus; and whether he is aware that the present definition is differently inter preted by different ophthalmic surgeons and makes it difficult for the medical referees to give equitable decisions in many of these cases?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Sir William Joynson-Hicks)I fully realise the unsatisfactoriness of the present position, but the matter is one of very considerable difficulty, and I have found it necessary to refer again to the Medical Research Council for further advice on certain points. I regret, therefore, that it is not yet possible to come to a final decision.
