HC Deb 23 November 1978 vol 958 cc736-7W
Mrs. Bain

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland, what studies of the effects of airborne lead on the behaviour of children in urban areas have been or are being conducted in Scotland.

Mr. Harry Ewing

There have been no such studies in Scotland. An expert advisory committee has recently set up a working party, which will include a representative from my Department, to review the overall problem of the intake of environmental lead on health.
