HC Deb 07 February 1955 vol 536 cc175-6W
90. Mr. Ness Edwards

asked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance what significant changes are revealed by the statistics, over the last 10 years, relating to victims of silicosis and pneumoconiosis of life expectancy on the part of those persons certified with the disease.

Mr. Peake

I am advised that it is much too early to draw any conclusions about mortality from the figures so far available.
