HC Deb 22 April 1980 vol 983 c118W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what studies have been carried out into the differing reactions of individuals to exposure to radiation.

Dr. Vaughan

I shall let the hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.

Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many successful claims for industrial injury benefit there were in 1979 under prescribed disease No. 25 where the workers involved had been exposed to radiation below the recognised safety level.

Mr. Prentice

The information is not readily available and the cost of trying to obtain it would not be justified.
