Proceeding contribution from Lord Drayson (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 11 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Armed Forces Bill.


Armed Forces Bill

I am grateful to my noble friend and for the points made by the noble Viscount, Lord Slim. A considerable amount of research is taking place in this area of defence. Modern developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech industry have led to the possibility of a great broadening of the potential use and misuse of pharmaceuticals to both enhance performance and to change mood. I will consider whether the clause as drafted is sufficiently clear to take that important point into account.
