HC Deb 09 December 1974 vol 883 cc36-7W
Mr. Clemitson

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether there have been any studies made of the level of lead content in the blood of prisoners in Her Majesty's prisons ; and, if so, whether there is any evidence that such levels are higher than in the population at large.

Dr. Summerskill

No, but a proposal for a study is under consideration.
