HC Deb 14 June 1994 vol 244 c433W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what evaluation he has made of the suitability of the Westlakes Research Institute at Whitehaven as host for the first European DNA bank.

Mr. Waldegrave

The Westlakes Research Institute is proposing to undertake a study in conjunction with Newcastle university on the links between genetic make-up and disease. The question of a European DNA databank does not arise.
