HC Deb 29 July 1997 vol 299 cc182-3W
Mr. Hancock

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what tests will be conducted on animals during his Department's research into Gulf war syndrome; and which animals will be tested. [11000]

Dr. Reid

A document outlining the strategy of the research and a proposed work programme has been drafted by CBD Porton Down. The programme of work has yet to be agreed with MOD and, therefore, it is not yet possible to detail precisely the tests that will be conducted using animals.
