HC Deb 22 October 1987 vol 120 c881W
Mr. Illsley

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many major injury accidents to persons on British Coal Corporation's colliery books in 1986–87, reported under the RIDDOR regulations, also satisfied the criteria for reporting under the previous NADOR regulations.

Mr. Cope

There were 982 major injury accidents in 1986–87 in coal mines. Of those, it is estimated that 687 would have been reportable under the previous NADOR regulations.
