HC Deb 26 June 1986 vol 100 c309W
Mr. Corrie

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when the up-to-date figures between 1981 to 1985 of the number of leukaemia cases in the postal code area around Hunterston in those aged 0–24 years will be published; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John MacKay

The study produced by the information services division of the Common Services Agency into the incidence of leukaemia in Scotland in the nought to 24 age group, a copy of which is in the Library, included statistics for 1981 to 1983 for the area around Hunterston. Data for 1984 are expected to be available in the autumn; 1985 figures will not be available this year.
