HC Deb 28 November 1962 vol 668 cc59-60W
84. Dr. Dickson Mabon

asked the Minister of Labour what specific industrial health problems are the subject of research and investigation at present by his Department.

Mr. Hare

Research is not undertaken by my Department but, as appropriate, by the Medical Research Council and industrial research organisations assisted by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research. Among the more important investigations currently being made by my Department are examination of the effects of various industrial solvents, improved methods of detecting lead absorption and improved methods of dust control. Full information about the Department's investigation work appears in the Annual Reports of the Chief Inspector of Factories on Industrial Health.
