To ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment of the health effects of pepper gas and the possible carcinogenic effects of capsaicin, has been made by the senior medical officers of the Department of Health since 1991; how many published and internal papers have been written by the Department's medical officers on this subject since 1991; and what are the current security classifications of these reports.

Mr. Horam

A single report on pepper spray was prepared by the Department of Health in 1993. This is unclassified. I have arranged for copies to be placed in the Library.
