asked the Home Secretary whether he has considered the request from the Card and Blowing Room Operatives Union asking that their members suffering from the effects of dust in the course of their employment shall be included within the schedules of the workmen's compensation laws; and what reply has been returned to such request?

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I have given to-day to a similar question by my hon. Friend the Member for Bolton (Sir J. Haslam).
