Mr. Campbell-Savours: To ask the Secretary of State for Health on what dates microbiologists Doctor Nasser el-Hindawi and Doctor
Tharner Abdul Rahman were invited to the United Kingdom; to what extent they were party to discussions on (a) anthrax, (b) gas
gangrene, (c) botulism toxin, (d) brucellosis and (e) rabbit foot and tetanus; and by whom they were invited. [26398]
Ms Jowell: [holding answer 3 February 1998]: Neither Doctor Nasser el-Hindawi nor Doctor Tharner Abdul Rahman were invited to the
United Kingdom. They applied to attend an international scientific workshop on anthrax in response to publicity in several
scientific publications. The workshop was held in Winchester in April 1989, and was organised by various institutions who have an
expertise in the control of infectious diseases, including the Public Health Laboratory Service and the Centre for Applied
Microbiology and Research. The purpose of the workshop was to promote international understanding of anthrax as a
naturally-occurring disease which poses a significant threat to public health in many parts of the world. All presentations at the
workshop addressed human health aspects of the disease and none contained classified information.
The workshop contained no presentations or open discussions on gas gangrene, botulism toxin, brucellosis, rabbit foot or tetanus.
