HC Deb 19 January 1988 vol 125 c682W
Mr. Lofthouse

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services if he has now received the Industrial Injuries Advisory Council's report on its investigation into the cause of emphysema among coal miners; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Scott

We have not yet received this report. I am advised that it will now be submitted in February. Careful consideration will then be given to its recommendations.
