HC Deb 08 June 1999 vol 332 c292W
Mr. Alan Simpson

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office if he will place in the Library the initial draft of the paper on GM foods prepared by the Chief Medical Officer and the Chief Scientific Adviser. [85930]

Dr. Jack Cunningham

The Government took the unusual step of publishing the report by the Chief Scientific Adviser and the Chief Medical Officer on GM foods. The initial draft which Ministers considered was revised by the authors to ensure that it was easily comprehensible for the lay reader and to include specific recommendations for action.
