Zinc Cadmium Sulphide Trials

HC Deb 06 April 2000 vol 347 cc554-5W

Mr. Matthew Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many former staff of the Porton Down chemical and biological defence establishment were in contact with Professor Peter Lachmann and his panel

during the course of their inquiry into the zinc cadmium sulphide trials; and if he will place all the communications between them and Professor Lachmann and his team in the Library. [117058]

Dr. Moonie

I understand that Professor Lachmann's team had a number of telephone conversations with one former member of staff at Porton Down. No record of these conversations was made and any advice supplied was used in the final report, a copy of which has already been placed in the Library of the House.
