HC Deb 24 May 1988 vol 134 cc147-8W
Mr. McNamara

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will publish in theOfficial Report the figures upon which the discovery of two new child cancer hot-spots on the Bransholme and Greatfield estate in Hull are based.

I understand initial indications are that the rates in the Bransholme and Greatfield census wards are not significantly elevated. I would refer the hon. Member to the chairman of the East Yorkshire health authority for further information.
