HC Deb 13 February 1956 vol 548 c2047
3. Dr. Stross

asked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance whether he will analyse the certificate of incapacity in his Annual Digest of Statistics so that, in addition to the information already given, there will be an analysis of incapacity according to occupation.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

For sickness benefits, this digest has included analyses by occupation which were specially prepared for the year 1951, and arrangements have been made which will, I hope, enable similar analyses to be provided for some future years. For industrial accidents and prescribed occupational diseases, analyses by industry, which seem to be generally more useful than analyses by occupation, are included in the Digest.
