HC Deb 02 March 1972 vol 832 cc187-8W
Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services to what he attributes the doubling in one year of the number of children admitted to hospital in Leicester because they were suffering from accidental poisoning.

Mr. Alison

As indicated in my reply to the hon. and learned Gentleman, on 18th February the figures for Leicester have shown considerable fluctuation in recent years, and it is not possible to draw firm conclusions from a change in any one year.—[Vol. 831, c. 182–3.]
