HC Deb 03 December 1985 vol 88 c204W
Mr. Harrison

asked the Secretary of State for Defence, in the light of the statement in his Department's publication D/DSC3/5/810 of 20 March 1984 that the normal cancer rate in men is about 25 per cent., what percentage of military personnel are at present in this category.

Mr. Norman Lamont

The study currently being undertaken by the National Radiological Protection Board will compare mortality statistics and cancer registrations for all known participants with those for a matched control group of non-participants. I would refer the hon. Gentleman to my answers to his questions on 22 November 1985, at column 575.
