HC Deb 16 June 1967 vol 748 c154W
Mr. E. Rowlands

asked the Secretary of State for Defence how much was spent by Her Majesty's Government on research on biological warfare in each of the financial years 1960 to 1967.

Mr. Healey

Our research is for the purpose of assessing the threat of biological attacks and evolving defences against them. It would not be in the public interest to disclose the scale of this work.
