HL Deb 12 January 1998 vol 584 c150WA
The Countess of Mar

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What research is being conducted into the effect of exposure to depleted uranium and contaminated debris on members of Her Majesty's Armed Forces who served in Operation Granby; and whether any research is being conducted on Iraqi civilians who may have handled the debris after the cessation of hostilities.

Lord Gilbert

In the time available, it has not proved possible to obtain sufficient information properly to answer this Question.

I will write to the noble Countess as soon as our investigations are complete and a copy of my letter will be placed in the Library of the House.
