HC Deb 31 March 1994 vol 240 cc1047-8W
Mr. Ieuan Wyn Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will make a statement on the progress of the Medical Research Council's study of the effects of sea pollution on health.

Mr. Waldegrave

I have been asked to reply.

The Medical Research Council is not carrying out any studies into the effects of sea pollution on health. It is, however, always willing to consider soundly based scientific proposals in competition with other applications for research funding.
