HC Deb 13 December 1979 vol 975 c762W
Mr. Gordon Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what are the admission rates for leukaemia for the West of Scotland, and particularly island areas, for three years preceding the Windscale development and in the years following the Windscale reprocessing production to date.

Mr. Fairgrieve

Cancer registration was not started until 1959, three years after Windscale opened; and data for the period since reprocessing began in 1977 are not available.
