Tobias Ellwood, chair of the Defence Select Committee, told Parliament last week:
“If there was medical information that was withheld that could actually have an impact on treatment, diagnosis, or indeed compensation, if anyone could have access to this, or even today have access to this, it could be a criminal offence.” Defence Secretary Ben Wallace confirmed:
“It would be deeply wrong to withhold from ministers, or anyone else, evidence, and if anybody has any evidence they should put it before us.”
