HC Deb 08 August 1972 vol 842 c318W
36. Mr. Eadie

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will examine the procedures involving claimants who contact his Department for pneumoconiosis benefits; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Dean

The procedures for dealing with claims are kept under general review. Certain aspects of the medical procedures are being examined by the Industrial Injuries Advisory Council in the course of its major review of pneumoconiosis.
