HC Deb 27 January 1976 vol 904 cc160-1W
23. Mr. Golding

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will designate Raynaud's Phenomenon as an industrial disease.

Mr. O'Malley

No. The Industrial Injuries Advisory Council in its report last year on vibration syndrome (Cmnd. 5965) found that no objective clinical tests were available which would identify Raynaud's Phenomenon as attributable to occupation in a particular person and enable the disablement resulting from it to be assessed with reasonable accuracy.

Forward to
