Whether they have received the report of the Chairman of the National Gulf Veterans and Families Association on the death of Mr. John Callaghan, and if so, what is their response.
§ Baroness BlatchThe report by Major Hill, Chairman of the National Gulf Veterans and Families Association, has been received. The coroner has not yet fixed a date for the inquest into the death of Mr. Callaghan. The report raises important and complex issues which require careful consideration by the Home Office, the Ministry of Defence and the Department of Health in the light of the inquest verdict.
