Written question asked by Countess of Mar (Crossbench), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Drayson (Labour) on Wednesday, 17 January 2007.


Gulf War Illnesses

Question
Further to the Written Answer by Lord Truscott on 30 November (WA 79), what precedents there are for a Minister of the Crown to inform the Royal British Legion (RBL) of an error in the minutes of a meeting of the RBL, or that of another voluntary organisation, without having consulted the organisation, when the minutes were confirmed as a correct record by those who attended; and whether they intend to apologise to the Royal British Legion in this instance.
Answer

Officials did not consider that the minutes accurately reflected their statement at the 5 September meeting of the Gulf War Group, but this was remedied under matters arising at the subsequent meeting on 7 December when a further statement was made clarifying any misunderstanding.
