HC Deb 17 January 1986 vol 89 cc744-6W
Mr. Michael McNair-Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether the studies being undertaken by the Committee on the Medical Aspects of Radiation in the Environment particularly relating to the incidence of leukaemia and lymphatic cancer in young

people living close to the royal ordnance factory, Burghfield and atomic weapons research establishment, Aldermaston will be made public; and when he expects the committee to report.

Mr. Hayhoe

[pursuant to his reply, 16 January 1986, c. 700]Yes, the committee's findings on the incidence of leukaemia and lymphatic cancer in young people living close to the royal ordnance factory, Burghfield and atomic weapons research establishment, Aldermaston will be published but it is too early to predict when the committee will complete its deliberations.
