HL Deb 12 May 2004 vol 661 cc44-6WA
Lord Morris of Manchester

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What information the Department of Health has on potential adverse consequences for individual service men and women involved in the 1990–91 Gulf conflict as a result of the Ministry of Defence having planned the timing of their anthrax immunisations differently from those in the marketing authorisation and the giving of fewer immunisations than were recommended. [HL1961]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Health (Lord Warner)

The Department of Health does not have any information on potential adverse consequences for individual service men and women involved in the 1990–91 Gulf conflict as a result of the Ministry of Defence having planned the timing of their anthrax immunisations differently from those in the marketing authorisation and the giving of fewer immunisations than were recommended.
