HC Deb 06 February 1997 vol 289 c682W
Mr. Alfred Morris

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence when United Nations inspectors were informed by the Iraqi authorities that the ammunition dump at Kamisiyah in southern Iraq blown up by US troops had contained chemical war weapons; what consideration his Department gave at that time to any possible connection between the destruction of the ammunition dump and undiagnosed illnesses among service personnel who served in the Gulf war; what more recent consideration has been given to a possible connection; and if he will make a statement. [14075]

Mr. Soames

I will write to the hon. Member and a copy of the letter will be placed in the Library of the House.
