Mr. Tony Lloyd

I have been asked to reply.

I undertook on 2 April 1998, Official Report, column 1445, to look into a number of points raised by the hon. and learned Member about the possible supply of UK origin anthrax spores to Iraq via the US, and will provide such information as is available in answer to this question in my reply.
