HC Deb 13 July 1933 vol 280 cc1234-5
16. Mr. TINKER

asked the Home Secretary if his attention has been drawn to the condition of coal miners who, through working in hot mines, are subject to boils and carbuncles, which in many cases causes incapacity and loss of work; and will he inquire into it to see if there is sufficient evidence to include this in the schedule of diseases under the Workmen's Compensation Acts?

Mr. HACKING

My right hon. Friend has not yet had occasion to consider this question, but he will consult my hon. Friend the Secretary for Mines in the matter.
