HC Deb 22 May 1995 vol 260 cc406-7W
Mr. Mike O'Brien

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what research has been conducted by or on behalf of her Department into damage to the body's immune system caused by immunisation; and what conclusions have been reached. [24562]

Mr. Sackville

The Department of Health is not aware of evidence that immunisation causes damage to the immune system.

The main agency through which the Government support biomedical and clinical research is the Medical Research Council which receives its grant in aid from the office of my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster.
