HC Deb 30 January 1979 vol 961 c371W
39. Mr. Hoyle

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will now agree to the reform of the Dangerous Pathogens Advisory Group and, in particular, in such a way as to make provision for trade union representation.

Mr. Ennals

As I announced in my statement on 24 January, the Government have decided that the responsibilities and constitution of the Dangerous Pathogens Advisory Group should be widened and that its membership should be broadened so as to represent those who run and work in the laboratories and the wider public interest.—[Vol. 961, c. 436.]
