HC Deb 21 November 1994 vol 250 c60W
Dr. David Clark

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if members of Her Majesty's forces are permitted to refuse vaccinations or drugs in any theatre of war.

Mr. Soames

The administration of vaccines or the provision of drugs to service personnel would normally be undertaken on the basis of informed consent. In certain circumstances, refusal to receive treatment could lead to disciplinary action.
