HC Deb 12 February 1975 vol 886 cc161-2W
Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what medical studies have been made of the ingestion of lead pollutants by policemen on traffic duty in (a) central London, (b) central Birmingham, and (c) central Manchester.

Dr. Summerskill

None that we are aware of. My right hon. Friend is advised by his Chief Medical Officer that police officers on traffic duty are not considered to be exposed to any hazard to health from lead pollutants.
