§ Mr. MarlowTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what quantitative provision is being made for casualties from a Gulf war.
§ Mrs. Virginia BottomleyI refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave the hon. Member for Linlithgow (Mr. Dalyell) on 31 October at column528. Should the need arise, NHS beds would be made available through restrictions on non-urgent admissions. No request for such action has yet been made by the Ministry of Defence.
