HC Deb 06 December 1983 vol 50 cc136-7W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will identify the areas in England where leukaemia rates tend to be higher than average.

Mr. John Patten

Leukaemia rates for areas are published by the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys in the annual reference volume series DH5 (mortality) and MB1 (registrations), copies of which are in the Library of the House. The latest available publications are for 1981 (mortality) and 1979 (registrations). The 1980 registration figures are due to be published later this month.
