Committee on Toxicity
The Countess of Mar asked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether
the Committee on Toxicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer Products and the
Environment has members with occupational health or clinical expertise; and, if
not, whether they have concluded that such expertise is unnecessary for the
effective evaluation of the clinical effects on humans and animals of exposure
to toxic chemicals. [HL1391]
Lord Hunt of Kings
Heath: The Committee on Toxicity of
Chemicals in Food, Consumer Products and the Environment has several members
with clinical expertise and one member with expertise in assessment of
occupational health.
