That this House remains greatly concerned at the increasing level of illnesses, miscarriages and infant mortality associated with service personnel who received anthrax vaccines prior to both of the Gulf conflicts and their families; and calls upon the Government to instigate the fullest public inquiry into the illnesses suffered by service personnel who served in the Gulf and their families in order to determine once and for all if there are any lessons to be learnt that could prevent such misery in the future.
