Examples of protective measures are vaccines and treatments that prevent or reduce the effects of exposure to chemical and biological agents and treatments for traumatic injuries. Dstl does not conduct animal experiments for the development or testing of offensive weapons and the Home Office does not grant licences for these purposes.</p> answering member constituency Horsham answering member printed Jeremy Quin question first answered 02/06/2021 10:49:39 answering member 4507 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Quin
