HC Deb 17 July 1979 vol 970 c434W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the results found on the island of Gruinard by the team led by Dr. John Bartlett of the chemical defence establishment at Porton; and what plans he has for the future for experiments into ways of eradicating anthrax spores.

Mr. Hayhoe

Samples were collected successfully from a large number of sites on the island and these are now being analysed. Future plans will depend on the results of this analysis, which will not be known for some months.
