§ 59. Mr. PHILIP OLIVERasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is now in a position to report on the investigation being carried out by the London Cancer Hospital, with the assistance of the medical inspectorate of the Factory Department, into the incidence of the disease of cancer of the bladder among workers in aniline factories, and have inquiries been made in the course of such investigation from the life assurance offices?
§ The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Short)The position is as indicated in my reply to the hon. Member on the 4th December last. The investigation has been actively continued, but I understand that there are so far no conclusive results to report. The question of approaching the life assurance offices has been considered, but my right hon. 2033 Friend is advised that they would not be able to furnish information of material value which is not obtainable from the Registrar-General.
