§ Mr. ELLIS DAVIESasked the Home Secretary whether disease caused by picric acid entitles the workman affected to compensation under the Workmen's Compensation Act; and, if not, whether he can, in view of the number concerned, add the disease to the Schedule to the Act?
§ Mr. BRACEThe only diseases normally attributable to processes in the manufacture of, or involving the use of, picric acid are eczematous ulceration of the skin or dermatitis, and poisoning by nitrous fumes. Both of them are scheduled under the Workmen's Compensation Act.
