HC Deb 27 January 1987 vol 109 c222W
Mr. Hancock

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will immediately set up an investigation into the high incidence of child leukaemia in the Fareham, Hampshire area.

Mrs. Currie

The occurrence of an increased incidence of childhood leukaemia in the Fareham area, outside the common and natural range, has not been established. The Department will, however, arrange for the study of the available statistics and will then consider whether more detailed investigations are appropriate.
