HC Deb 25 May 1994 vol 244 c163W
Dr. Marek

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the present number of civil servants taking legal action against his Department as a result of work-related upper limb disorders.

Mr. Howard

There are five members of staff in the main Home Office who are currently taking legal action against the Department as a result of work-related upper limb disorders.

I have asked the Director General of the Prison Service to write to the hon. Member about the number of such legal actions being taken in the Prison Service.
