HC Deb 31 July 1936 vol 315 c1885W
Sir W. JENKINS

asked the Home Secretary whether he will state the number of cases reported as suffering from silicosis and the number of deaths in the Neath borough council area, the Neath rural district council area, and the Pontardawe rural district council area for 1931, 1932, 1933, 1934, 1935, and the latest available date in 1936; and what number received compensation and what number were refused compensation?

Sir J. SIMON

Statistics on these lines would be difficult to obtain, and I am not clear exactly on what basis the hon. Member contemplates that the calculations should be made. I am communicating with him in the matter.
