Allergic reactions 'now affect one in three Britons' 

 A record one in three people suffers from an allergy, according to a report
 published today by Dr Amolak Bansal, a consultant immunologist and allergist
 at St Helier Hospital in south London. 

 Thirty years ago, some 15 to 20 per cent of the population were sufferers:
 this is now 33 per cent. The number of materials causing allergic reactions
 is also rising.
