79. Miss Lee

asked the Minister of National Insurance when legislation is contemplated to remove the anomaly of excluding men suffering from pneumoconiosis from full compensation rights on the grounds that they had been five or more years out of the occupation in which they contracted the disease.

Dr. Summerskill
