§ Lord Morris of Manchesterasked Her Majesty's Government:
What consideration they have given to United States Federal Judge Emmet Sullivan's instruction to the United States Department of Defense concerning the administration of anthrax vaccine to United States troops; and whether there is any action they will be considering in the light of his decision. [HL5003]
§ Lord BachThe Ministry of Defence is aware of the ruling made by Judge Sullivan concerning the administration of anthrax vaccine to US troops. The US, unlike the UK, has a mandatory anthrax vaccination policy and the US judgment relates to that fact.
The MoD will continue to follow developments in the case.
