Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many compensation claims for asbestos-related disease from employees or former employees who were employed as Electrical Overseers and who allege their exposure occurred at a shipyard in the UK between 1965 and 1989 have been settled by his Department.

The information requested relating to employees or former employees who were employed as electrical overseers is not held as claimant trades are not recorded.
