HC Deb 02 April 1998 vol 309 c606W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to his letter to the hon. Member for Linlithgow, what action he is taking to assess the work of Ron Davies of Rydon House acute psychiatric unit in Taunton, on the effects on mental health of exposure to pesticides. [36811]

Dr. Reid

I have instructed my officials to assess the implications of the work of Dr. Davies when it is published in an appropriately peer-reviewed medical or scientific journal. We have not yet seen the results of his research and continue to await publication with interest.
