Proceeding contribution from Lord Mackay of Clashfern (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 28 June 2010. It occurred during Question for short debate on Gulf War Illnesses.
Gulf War Illnesses
My Lords, as a member of the Government who were responsible for sending the troops to the Gulf on that occasion, I feel it is absolutely essential that they be treated with fairness now. In connection with the Budget, the point has been made again and again that this has to be fair. If anyone is entitled to fairness, surely it is a person who gave their service in the dangerous situation in the Gulf in 1990 and those who depend on him or her.
