HC Deb 05 December 1955 vol 547 c7W
41. Mr. R. Edwards

asked the Minister of Health if he will institute an official inquiry into the incidence of coronary thrombosis with particular reference to deaths from this disease among work-people employed in the engineering industries.

Mr. Iain Macleod

The General Register Office is already preparing for publication figures showing the incidence of mortality from this condition among occupational groups of the population in the years 1949–53. I am informed that the Medical Research Council is also studying the occupational incidence of the condition.
