To ask the Scottish Executive what stocks it has of antidotes against the effects of chemical, biological or radiological attacks.

Answer · Malcolm Chisholm · 10 Feb 2003

Contingency plans exist to deal with chemical, biological or radiological incidents whether caused naturally, by accident or as a result of an act of terrorism.

For security reasons, it is UK policy not to disclose details of these antidotes or their location.
