Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, when she plans to lay the Statutory Instrument to include Dupuytren's Contracture in the list of prescribed diseases for Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit.
We have always intended to bring legislation forward for this change as soon as possible in 2019/20, and we anticipate this may be during the latter part of 2019.
