HC Deb 05 July 1982 vol 27 c38W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what is his present estimate of the number of Service men who will be registrable as permanently and substantially handicapped as a result of the Falklands conflict; and whether he has similar information about Merchant Navy personnel.

Mr. Blaker

It is too soon to attempt to make a reliable estimate, but the registration of people as disabled is in any case a matter for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Social Services.
