HL Deb 03 June 1998 vol 590 cc36-7WA
Earl Baldwin of Bewdley

asked Her Majesty's Government:

On what basis they take community-based advice on HIV/AIDS from an organisation called the United Kingdom Coalition of People Living with HIV/AIDS; whether this organisation is not a coalition but a private limited company which represents only a small minority of diagnosed people; and what plans they have to take advice on HIV/AIDS from a wider spectrum of community-based expertise, including those organisations which question the traditional view of aetiology and treatment. [HL1985]

Baroness Jay of Paddington

The Government take advice on HIV/AIDS from a wide range of organisations and individuals and value the contribution they and others have made to the fight against HIV and AIDS.
