31. Mr. Eadie

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what study his Department has made of the new means for combating silicosis, now undergoing clinical tests, which has been developed by the German Professor Schlipkoter, details of which have been sent to him; and what action he plans to take as a result.

Mr. Ennals

Research into this method of combating silicosis is being carried out by the Medical Research Council, but no clinical trials are envisaged.
