Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Drayson on 23 March (WA 279–80), whether they will publish the summaries or reports of the 15 grant-aided scientific studies on benzodiazepines and of the five further studies carried out after 1996.
Answer

The Medical Research Council does not routinely publish results of grant-funded studies: the dissemination of research findings is a task undertaken by grant-holders through publication in peer-reviewed journals. It is the responsibility of the relevant grant holders to publish summaries or reports of the eight grant-funded and seven intramural scientific studies on benzodiazepines, or the five further studies carried out after 1996.
