§ Mr. Wigleyasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will instigate inquiries into the incidence of cancer among people living along the Welsh coastline, following the recent report by the Political Ecology Research Group suggesting an increase in the incidence of cancer along the Irish Sea coast as a result of the dumping of plutonium waste in the sea at Windscale; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsNo. As the report itself states, any increased incidence of cancer from this cause would not be detectable amongst a background of high cancer rates generally.
