§ Mr. Frank Cookasked the Secretary of State for the Environment which organs of Cumbrians were found to have higher than average levels of plutonium in the recent survey by Mr. Don Popplewell of the National Radiological Protection Board.
§ Mr. NewtonI have been asked to reply.
Plutonium tissue concentrations were generally higher in Cumbrians than in subjects from other areas of the country, levels being significantly higher in the femur, lung and liver.
