asked the Minister of Health the number of cases of industrial poisoning for each of the last three years, and how many were fatal?

I have been asked to reply to this question. If, as I presume, the hon. Member refers to the industrial diseases notifiable under the Factory and Workshop Act, the numbers are as follows: In 1920 there were 514, of which 38 were fatal; in 1921 there were 350, of which 32 were fatal; and in 1922 there were 410, of which 35 were fatal.
