HC Deb 08 February 1965 vol 706 c22W
108. Mr. Orbach

asked the Minister of Labour, in view of the fact that a report on the dangers of occupational bladder tumour in the rubber industry, prepared by the Rubber Manufacturing Employers' Association, has been altered in order to prevent full information on the danger to employees and ex-employees exposed to certain chemical substances being known, whether he will request the Medical Research Council to investigate the use in industrial processes of alpha-naphthylamine, beta-naphthylamine, benzidine, 4-aminodiphenyl, 4 nitrophenyl, their salts and any substance containing any of these compounds.

Mr. Gunter

I hope to be able to make a statement to the House next week.
