HC Deb 16 March 1971 vol 813 c285W
Mr. McGuire

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when he expects the committee now researching into pneumoconiosis and other connected respiratory diseases affecting miners and others to report to him; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Dean

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply to the right hon. Member for Barnsley (Mr. Mason) on 18th February. It is not possible to anticipate when the Advisory Council will be in a position to report.—[Vol. 811, c.549.]
