§ Mr. Meacherasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if, in the light of the case of Jack Myers, who worked for the Lancashire asbestos firm TBA Industrial Products for 19 years and who was found by a pneumoconiosis medical panel to have died from lung cancer, but whose cause of death was stated on the death certificate as cerebral thrombosis, he will seek to legislate to require that death certificates may not be completed until the findings of any such medical panel are known.
§ Mr. RossiI have no plans to do so. Coroners are already advised to adjourn inquests until the findings of the medical panel are known.
