HC Deb 04 May 1970 vol 801 cc16-7W
Mrs. Ewing

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make a statement on his investigations into the latest findings on the need for a change in the definition of pneumoconiosis.

Mr. Ennals:

The question whether any change should be made in the definition of pneumoconiosis in the Industrial Injuries Act is under investigation by the Industrial Injuries Advisory Council and I understand that the Council's inquiries are still proceeding.
