HC Deb 25 March 1985 vol 76 c36W
Mr. Janner

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what is the average length of time taken by the Factories Inspectorate to investigate cases of industrial injury and to process compensation claims; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

No data is available from which the average period of time for the investigation of cases of industrial injury can be derived. Matters on claims for industrial compensation should be referred to my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Social Services.
