Mr. Fearn

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science when he expects the study being carried out by the Institute of Psychiatry into benzodiazepines will be completed; and whether it will be published.

The Institute of Psychiatry is currently carrying out several studies related to benzodiazepines. It is anticipated that they will be completed by September 1989. The researchers would be expected, as is the usual practice, to disseminate their findings through appropriate professional journals.
