HC Deb 23 July 1962 vol 663 cc108-9W
59 and 60. Dr. Dickson Mabon

asked the Minister of Labour (1) when he intends to authorise another industrial health survey, comparable to that concerning the pottery industry in 1959; and if he will consider selecting the shipbuilding industry;

(2) when he intends to authorise another industrial health survey comparable to that concerning the town of Halifax in 1958; and if he will consider selecting the burgh of Greenock.

Mr. Whitelaw

My right hon. Friend has decided, after consulting his Industrial Health and Advisory Committee, that research and investigation for the time toeing should concentrate on fundamental inquiry into specific industrial health problems rather than on general surveys as in 1958 and 1959.
