HC Deb 11 April 1978 vol 947 cc386-7W
Mr. Bidwell

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will make a statement on the action that is proposed following the determination by the Parliamentary Commissioner in the case of Mrs. M. O'Hara's claim for industrial injury benefit; and the Commission's letter to the hon. Member for Ealing, Southall, dated 17th March.

Mr. Orme

An inquiry into the insurability for industrial injury purposes of the late Patrick O'Hara was held in London on 6th April 1978 and I expect a report to be submitted shortly. This question of insurability will then be decided, as will the further question of whether the original decision on Mrs. O'Hara's claim for industrial death benefit can be reviewed.
