§ 37. Mr. J. WILSONasked the Home Secretary whether he is aware of the in jury caused to the eyesight of employés in engineering workshops through the lodgment of foreign matter in the eye; and whether he will make arrangements for the appointment of an eye specialist in engineering towns, at which such employés could receive treatment on production of their medical card?
§ Mr. CLYNESI am aware of the liability to eye injuries in many engineering processes, and the first-aid arrangements which are required to be made at every factory provide for the first-aid treatment of these injuries. Arrangements, however, for the provision of any specialist treatment which may be necessary subsequently are outside the scope of the Factory Acts, and all I can offer is to bring the hon. Member's suggestion to the notice of my right hon. Friend the Minister of Health.
