Dr. Marek

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what is the present number of civil servants taking legal action against his Department as a result of work-related upper limb disorders.

Mr. Heseltine

There are no cases in the Department of Trade and Industry where proceedings have been issued.

In three cases claimants are currently seeking damages from the Department through their solicitors.
