In England as in America a recent concern has been lead poisoning among 
children, caused by both vehicle emissions and peeling lead paint. A committee
was set up to study this and 'New Scientist' (or was it 'Punch'?) remarked 
that the group included every government ministry "except the Ministry of
Defence and the Northern Ireland Office, and these two are already conferring
about the current outbreak of lead poisoning in Ulster".
