§ 36. Sir H. Studholmeasked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance when farmers' lung, which has been recommended by the Medical Advisory Council for inclusion in the List of Industrial Diseases, will be officially eligible for pension.
§ Miss HerbisonI am awaiting the further advice of the Industrial Injuries Advisory Council about the precise terms to be adopted for the occupational cover if the disease is to be prescribed. I hope to have the Council's views shortly, when I will give the matter my immediate attention.
§ Sir H. StudholmeWill the right hon. Lady do everything she can to hasten the inclusion of this disease? I have been trying to get this done for a long time, and if it is included it will give tremendous relief to many people.
§ Miss HerbisonCertainly. As quickly as I get it from the Council, I will give it my attention.
