HL Deb 23 June 1998 vol 591 cc17-8WA
Baroness Nicol

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When they expect to receive the report of the Advisory Group on Quarantine. [HL2343]

Lord Donoughue

The Chairman of the Advisory Group on Quarantine, Professor Kennedy, envisages a delay in the advisory group's report, which had been expected this month. It is important that all the evidence be considered most carefully, and given due weight, before the advisory group's report is submitted. We now expect that the report of the Advisory Group on Quarantine will be published in the summer or early autumn. A full public consultation will then be held.
