HC Deb 11 December 1973 vol 866 c85W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will now make a statement on the consideration by his chief medical officer of the effects on health in urban areas of atmospheric lead poisoning, and lead poisoning from other sources.

Sir K. Joseph

I can add very little to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for Portsmouth, West (Mr. Judd) on 6th November.—[Vol. 863, c.157.] The group of experts referred to has not yet reported on its assessment of the available research evidence.
