HC Deb 25 June 1993 vol 227 c312W
Mr. Ieuan Wyn Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what estimate he has for the number of(a) men and (b) women, suffering from lung diseases contracted during, and as a result of, service in the Royal Navy in the period 1939 to 1945.

Mr. Hanley

My Department has no statistical evidence upon which a meaningful estimate of ex-service personnel suffering from general lung conditions contracted during, and as a result of, service in the second world war could be based.
