Proceeding contribution from Viscount Slim (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 31 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Armed Forces Bill.


Armed Forces Bill

My Lords, I am grateful to the noble Lord, Lord Garden. My previous remarks on performance-enhancing drugs and the very few occasions on which they might be needed are probably covered by Clause 20(2)(a), which stipulates that a drug should be, "““taken or administered on medical advice””—" one would get medical advice— "““and A [a person] complied with any directions given … of that advice””." I do not have a problem with that provision.
