Mr. Boswell

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what has been the incidence in the United Kingdom in each of the last 10 years of reported cases of Kuru and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, respectively; and whether there is any explanation for changes in their incidence.

Mr. Freeman

Kuru does not occur in the United Kingdom; on Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, I refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave to the hon. Member for Birmingham, Hodge Hill (Mr. Davis) on 2 February.
