HC Deb 11 November 1974 vol 881 cc40-1W
Mr. Kelley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she is aware of the association of acro-osteolysis with the exposure of people to vinyl chloride concentrations; and if she will take steps to have the condition prescribed as an industrial disease.

Mr. O'Malley
