Proceeding contribution from Lord Avebury (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 18 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on UK Borders Bill.


UK Borders Bill

I would like to know whether any special notice was taken of ethical considerations. Not long ago, when I asked the BMA, the BDA and the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, they said that the use of ionising radiation for non-clinical purposes was not ethical. Irrespective of the accuracy of the process, that fundamental question needs to be determined before one ever considers whether it should be used as an adjunct to other methods.
