HC Deb 13 November 1989 vol 160 cc54-5W
94. Sir Anthony Meyer

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many workers in the nuclear generating industry have been killed or injured since the programme started; and what are the corresponding figures for the coal, oil and gas industries.

Mr. Nicholls

The available information is provided in the table.

These show the numbers of adjudication officers' decisions in each category of question of doubt, together with the number of cases allowed, and the number disallowed or disqualified. These publications are available in the House of Commons Library.

Mr. Terry Davis

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many persons in the West Midlands region were disqualified from receiving unemployment benefit during the period 1 January to 31 March because they were considered to have left their employment voluntarily without just cause and successfully appealed against disqualification.

Mr. Eggar

I refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave him on 28 July 1989 at column 1050. The number of persons who successfully appeal against the decision to disqualify unemployment benefit because they were considered to have left their employment voluntarily without just cause are not separately identified from other claimants who successfully appeal against the decision of an adjudication officer.
