The Countess of Mar

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Why members of HM Armed Forces were not vaccinated against botulinum when they were aware that Iraq had the capability to manufacture and use biological weapons including anthrax and botulinum prior to Operation Granby (as stated on page ix, paragraph 18 of Lessons Learned from Operation Granby).

Lord Henley

Details of specific medical countermeasures employed by British Forces against the potential biological warfare threat during Operation Granby remain classified.
