§ Mr. D. Jonesasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will give figures showing the numbers of workers suffering from respiratory diseases in the wood-working industries of Jamaica; and how the figures for Jamaica compare with similar industries in this country.
§ Mr. LytteltonNo figures are available. No case is known of any employee 77W of the Marketing Department of the Government of Jamaica who has suffered or is suffering from any respiratory disease arising out of employment in the Department's saw mills or joinery, and there is no reason to suppose that such disease is prevalent in other saw mills.
