HC Deb 11 February 1981 vol 998 c343W
35. Mr. Carmichael

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what consideration he is giving to the findings of the Lawther report as they apply in particular to the special circumstances to water and air lead levels in Glasgow; and if he is now able to announce when a statement will be made.

Mr. Rifkind

I am considering the Lawther report with my colleagues in other Departments. The particular problems of Glasgow, and of other areas of Scotland, are among the factors I am taking into account. I cannot yet give a date for the Government's response to the report.
