§ 13. Mr. TINKERasked the Home Secretary how many cases in 1933 and in 1934 were submitted to the medical 1283 referees under Section 19 of the Workmen's Compensation Act; and how many of them belonged to the mining industry?
§ Sir J. GILMOURThere were 4,334 such cases altogether for Great Britain in 1933. I regret that the number for 1934 is not yet available, and that no separate figures can be given for the mining industry.
§ Mr. TINKERWould it be possible for the right hon. Gentleman; to get separate figures for the mining industry, because I believe they are the largest?
§ Sir J. GILMOURI am prepared to look into it, but I cannot say whether that will be possible.
