HC Deb 25 March 1971 vol 814 c186W
Mr. Milne

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will introduce legislation to make compulsory radiography applicable to all workers in compressed air conditions common in under-water tunnels; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Dudley Smith

The medical aspects of precautions to be taken in work in compressed air are being discussed in the Medical Research Council Decompression Sickness Panel, on which H.M. Factory Inspectorate is represented. The suggestion about compulsory radiography will be considered in the light of that discussion.
