HC Deb 28 January 1963 vol 670 cc139-40W
85. Mr. Sydney Irving

asked the Parliamentary Secretary for Science what research is being undertaken on the possible relation between diesel fumes and lung cancer.

Mr. Denzil Freeth

The Medical Research Council is continuing its wide programme of research on the relation of air pollution, including that from diesel fumes, to diseases such as lung cancer. This programme includes chemical, physical, and epidemiological studies; the various projects are listed in the Annual Report of the Council. The results of these studies are published, as they become available, in the scientific Press.
