HC Deb 25 January 1974 vol 867 c366W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will indicate the number of deaths and serious injuries in the following industries per 1,000 employees: oil rigs, deep-sea trawler industry, coal mining, quarrying and construction, for each of the past five years.

Mr. Scott

main contracts will not be let until investment approval is given.
