§ Mr. Ernie Rossasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if his Department has evaluated the work on cot deaths carried out by Marianne Schlaefke of Ruhr university on the change in acidity of the fluid surrounding the lungs; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Allan StewartNo, but I have no doubt that any published work on these most distressing deaths will be carefully studied by researchers and clinicians in all relevant fields.
