HC Deb 08 December 1977 vol 940 c860W
Mr. Watkinson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what studies were carried out on the possible health hazards to Dilke Hospital arising from opencast mining at Woodgreen, Forest of Dean.

Mr. Moyle

No studies have been carried out of which I am aware, but the Gloucestershire Area Health Authority is discussing with the Forestry Commission, the Public Health Laboratory Service and the Environmental Health Officer of the Forest of Dean District Council.
