§ Sir W. Edgeasked the Home Secretary whether he can state the number of cases of silicosis recorded in the country as a whole during 1936, and the number of such cases in Leicestershire?
§ Sir S. HoareThe total number of certificates of disablement or death from silicosis issued by the Medical Board in 1936 was 727, including 197 certificates in respect of death. I regret that information as to the number of cases in Leicestershire is not available.
