Inquiry Into Gulf War Illnesses (EDM1254)

Inquiry Into Gulf War Illnesses

EDM number 1254 in 2001-02, proposed by David Laws on 08/05/2002.

That this House notes that Gulf veterans report more ill health than other servicemen; further notes that a number of servicemen have now died due to illness apparently acquired following service during the Gulf War; acknowledges that the Government has not ruled out an independent public inquiry into Gulf War illnesses; believes that a public inquiry would guarantee that scrutiny of this matter is fully independent and is best placed to study all available evidence; including the extensive international research programme; and calls upon the Government to launch a full public inquiry into Gulf War illnesses in order to ensure that 11 years of uncertainty and confusion for Gulf War veterans is finally brought to an end and to guarantee that existing servicemen and women are not exposed to similar risks in the future.

This motion has been signed by a total of 68 MPs.
