- National Dna Database (15 Nov 2006)
Ian Gibson: ...argument for doing that in a different political climate. There is no insistence on it at the moment, but it could happen. That worries many people. We live in a world in which people are worried about terrorism, and one can see the justification for such a database. We also live in a world in which people appeal to civil liberties and ask why such DNA information should be held on them....
- Forensic Science (20 Apr 2006)
Ian Gibson: ...and among different scientifically trained people, thinkers, commentators and ethicists—could help to make the enterprise a jewel in this country and benefit not only crime detection but our anti-terrorism policy and the prevention of such incidents. Now is an exciting time to be a forensic scientist. I hope that this Parliament will continue the fight to ensure that they are...
- Forensic Sciences (18 Oct 2005)
Ian Gibson: ...goes on and on, and there is no likelihood that such events will cease. Forensic science will play an integral part in the work done after such events. It can help with investigations into crime, terrorism, drugs, firearms, paedophilia, sexual abuse, fraud and road crashes—the list goes on and on. We must never forget that the most important events for many of our constituents are...
- Forensic Sciences (18 Oct 2005)
Ian Gibson: ...any more sad cases that the media pick up on so avidly in this country and abroad. More and more technology will be used, and more and more evidence will be needed in considering crimes such as terrorism. Having visited the States, the Select Committee published a report about the sort of detection technology that should be used in our underground stations, and I do not just mean CCTV...
- Reach (9 Sep 2004)
Dr Ian Gibson: ...ahead. We want them to share animal test data, for example. For goodness sake, the issue of animal testing is a real up-front problem in science. We examined animal testing. I shall not talk about terrorism and other aspects of it. But if we are serious about animal testing, we must bear it in mind that there is no evidence in the REACH proposals about how many animals might be involved,...
- The Scientific Response to Terrorism (18 Mar 2004)
Dr Ian Gibson: ...is the spirit in which the Committee entered into our deliberations and investigations. It was a spirited inquiry. We examined how counter-measures against biological, chemical and radiological terrorism are informed by science and technology; how the surveillance of dangerous chemicals and pathogens is co-ordinated nationally and internationally; the policies that we have here and...
- The Scientific Response to Terrorism (18 Mar 2004)
Dr Ian Gibson: ...members of the public. Panic can be prevented, if GPs are up to it. They are trusted—I trust my GP, and I think that many people feel the same way. GPs must be brought up to date on potential terrorism, and on what to look for in people who might turn up in their surgeries on a Friday night, or whenever. The report also deals with what would happen after an event. How should the...
- Hospital-Acquired Infections (13 Jan 2004)
Dr Ian Gibson: ...people may take the infection home with them because there is always a push to get beds empty and people outside may be affected. The real issue, however, is not always MRSA. The problems of SARS and terrorism have helped to focus the public's mind on getting control of infection, and having systems not just in hospitals, but across the nation. The public will be demanding much stricter...
- Animal Experiments (19 Mar 2003)
Dr Ian Gibson: ...life in this country. One group of protesters has a savage record in opposing animal experiments. Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty—SHAC—has demonstrated violently and with a degree of terrorism that has been noted by the Government and the Home Office. However, that activity continues, and I want to speak about the group's behaviour because it is part and parcel of the debate....
- National Cancer (15 May 2002)
Dr Ian Gibson: ...development, so treatment and care merge into one another to give better patient benefits. Bill Clinton says that cancer deserves the same respect as the war in Afghanistan, the war against terrorism and the war effort at home. We might decry his use of military terminology in respect of cancer, but the House will get the message. Year on year, we need to address the problems and to match...
