In order to provide the information requested by Lord Morris of Manchester, over 250 cases would need individually examining in order to establish the number and amount of payments made so far in respect of illnesses contracted by troops involved in the 2003 Gulf conflict.It is estimated that the cost of performing the above task would be in excess of the accepted threshold (£600) for invoking a ““disproportionate effort”” response.
