Mr. Awbery

asked the Minister of Labour how many accidents were sustained, during the course of their employment, by dock workers in the United Kingdom during 1944; and how many were fatal.

Mr. Isaacs

The number of accidents reported under the Factories Act for docks in Great Britain in 1944 was 9,864. Of these 102 were fatal. These figures relate only to accidents causing disablement for more than three days. The corresponding figure for Northern Ireland is not available.
