HC Deb 30 March 1987 vol 113 c353W
Mr. Ernie Ross

asked the Paymaster General how many fatal and major injuries there have been at work in manufacturing industry in each year since 1981 by administrative region of Scotland.

Mr. Trippier

The reported number of injuries at work are as follows:

Injuries in manufacturing industry in Scotland, reported to Her Majesty's factory inspectorate
Fatal Major
1981 21 463
1982 19 428
1983 20 374
1984 19 424
1 1985 20 419
1 Provisional.

I regret that figures for each region of Scotland are not readily available and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost. Figures for 1986 onwards are not yet available.
