HC Deb 19 February 1988 vol 127 c774W
Mr. Gordon Brown

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will fund a study examining an potential link between leukaemia and radiation in the Fife area.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

No. I see no merit in funding ad hoc studies before the Government have received the advice of the Committee on Medical Aspects of Radiation in the Environment on the further investigation of leukaemia in the vicinity of nuclear establishments.
