HL Deb 28 October 2004 vol 665 c138WA
Lord Morris of Manchester

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they still believe that there would be no biologically detectable effect on members of the Armed Forces from the destruction in 1991 of Iraqi chemical weapons stored at Khamisiyah in southern Iraq. [HL4530]

Lord Bach

The Ministry of Defence is currently considering the General Accounting (now Accountability) Office report and the recent United States Department of Defense response on the events at Khamisiyah. It is the MoD's intention to publish its own assessment by the end of the year.
