To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to his answer of 29 January,Official Report, column 21, what is the result of his study of recommendation 3.32 of the Wasserman report on forensic pathology.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

As my right hon. and learned Friend announced in reply to a question from my hon. Friend the Member for Westminster, North (Sir J. Wheeler) on 19 July, we have accepted the proposals of the working party on forensic pathology including the recommendation contained in paragraph 3.32 that the Home Office, on the advice of the proposed policy advisory board for forensic pathology, should fund a number of senior lectureships in departments of forensic pathology/forensic medicine. We now await the advice of the board on this matter.
