HC Deb 14 November 1966 vol 736 c4W
43. Mr. Ford

asked the Minister of Social Security if she will give an estimate of the number of working days lost in 1965 by workpeople suffering from bronchitis.

Mr. Pentland

I have information only about days for which sickness benefit is claimed and the latest figures are for the 53 weeks from 1st June, 1964 to 5th June, 1965 in which the estimated number of days of incapacity attributed to bronchitis was 36½ million.
