He will write to the hon. Member with such information as is available.

Claim form CRU 1 asks for the reasons for making a claim for compensation together with the date of any accident and details of the resulting injury, disease or if appropriate the date of death. Further details are not requested about the circumstances of individual accidents. For record purposes information is taken from the CRU 1 about the nature of the injury or disease and recorded in broad categories only. Details of illnesses, injuries and diseases can only therefore be provided within these categories.
