HC Deb 03 November 1993 vol 231 cc266-7W
Mr. Parry

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment how many deaths have taken place in England and Wales this year in the construction industry at the latest date; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

Figures on fatal and major injuries for all industry sectors are published annually. Reliable information for the current year is not yet available. Provisional figures for the fiscal year ending 31 March 1993 will be included in the Health and Safety Commission's annual report which is due to be published before the end of the year. A copy will be placed in the Library.
