HC Deb 09 May 1983 vol 42 c214W
Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will estimate the average level of compensation for industrial injuries arising from exposure to dangerous levels of noise in 1982.

Mr. Rossi

It is estimated that the average level of disablement of people receiving industrial disablement benefit on 30 September 1981, the latest date for which statistics are available, for the prescribed disease, occupational deafness (PD 48) was 40 per cent. which currently attracts a benefit of £21.44 per week, which will be increased in November.
