GULF WAR ILLNESS VICTIMS

Early day motion 1136, tabled 6 May 2003 by Lord Tyler (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 51 members.

That this House welcomes the adjudication of the War Pensions Appeal Tribunal in the case of ex-Lance Corporal Alex Izett RE; recognises that it provides powerful corroboration for the link between the cocktail of inoculations and long-term serious illness amongst veterans of the 1991 Gulf War; and calls upon the Secretary of State for Defence to adopt a more sympathetic, generous and grateful attitude to the pleas for justice from those who served their country well.
