HC Deb 17 February 1981 vol 999 cc107-8W
Mr. Ernie Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many deaths attributed to cancer of the bladder have occurred in both Dundee and Scotland in each of the past 10 years; and what percentage of the total number of deaths they represent in each case.

Mr. Fairgrieve

Figures are given below for the 10 years 1969 to 1978. I regret that 1979 data for Dundee are not yet available.
