HC Deb 31 March 1981 vol 2 c83W
Mr. McMahon

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will ensure that the proposed survey for lead content in fresh water supplies will be conducted in the Ibrox area of Glasgow, owing to the large number of dwellings with lead pipes.

Mr. Rifkind

Two surveys have been undertaken in Glasgow as part of the second round of surveys announced in the House on 3 March under the EEC directive on the biological screening of the population for lead. The random sample of adults should provide a valid picture of blood lead levels in the city generally, including Ibrox.—[Vol. 1000, c.100.]
