HC Deb 05 July 1928 vol 219 cc1587-8W
Mr. R. YOUNG

asked the Minister of Health whether any statistics are compiled by his Department showing the amount of money paid in respect of health insurance for occupational sickness and diseases; and whether he will consider the advisability of circulating information to workers so that they may lessen or prevent the ailments to which they may become subject in the course of their occupation?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

As approved societies are not generally organised on an occupational basis, it is not possible to compile statistics of the nature referred to by the hon. Member. In regard to the second part of the question, I will confer with my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary.
