asked the Paymaster General how many fatal and major injuries there have been at work in manufacturing industry in each year since 1981 by administrative region of Scotland.

The reported number of injuries at work are as follows:

Injuries in manufacturing industry in Scotland, reported to Her Majesty's factory inspectorate
	Fatal	Major
1981	21	463
1982	19	428
1983	20	374
1984	19	424
1 1985	20	419
1 Provisional.

I regret that figures for each region of Scotland are not readily available and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost. Figures for 1986 onwards are not yet available.
