Children With Retinoblastoma

EDM number 1578 in 1992-93, proposed by Liz Lynne on 11/03/1993.

That this House notes with concern a report in the British Medical Journal that five cases of children with retinoblastoma, a rare eye tumour, have been reported near the nuclear reprocessing plant at Sellafield since 1990, 20 times the expected number; and calls on the Government to establish a study of the local population to establish whether the overall incidence of childhood cancers has increased.

This motion has been signed by a total of 45 MPs.
