§ Mr. Skinnerasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will consider whether the treatment of Mr. G. Haydon mentioned in the letter to him from the hon. Member for Bolsover of 17 June represents sufficient grounds for another review of the circular 18/80, "Disagreement Between Pathologists and Pneumoconiosis Medical Panels", in order to ensure that justice is guaranteed to all sufferers of prescribed industrial diseases.
§ Mr. RaisonNo. My understanding is that an inquest was held at which evidence from the coroner's pathologist and from the pneumoconiosis medical panel was considered, as a result of which the coroner, as he is required to do, certified the cause of death to the registrar of deaths. The secondary cause of death shown in the pathologist's report was amended in court with the pathologist's agreement in the light of the evidence.
