HC Deb 02 April 1992 vol 222 c457W
Mr. Richards

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what evidence he has of a connection between cases of hepatitis and dysentery and the disconnection of household water supplies.

Mr. Gwilym Jones

Dysentery and hepatitis A are commonly spread by direct contact between individuals. I am aware of no evidence of a direct causal association between cases of hepatitis and dysentery and the disconnection of household water supplies.
