§ Mr. RedmondTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many people took advantage of the Government's offer of a free meal and expenses if they would swim in Welsh coastal waters to see if they would become ill; and what results have been obtained to date.
§ Mr. GristNo such offer has been made. If the hon. Gentleman is referring to the epidemiological study, announced by my hon. and learned Friend the Minister for Housing and Planning, on 17 May, 264 people took part in the controlled cohort study at Langland Bay near Swansea on 2 September. Of these 134 were bathers and 130 non-bathers.
