DEMANDS for a full inquiry into the birth defects of Gulf War babies will be heard in the House of Commons tomorrow.

The move comes in the wake of our revelation last week that deaths, still-births, miscarriages and birth defects among Army babies are being blamed on anthrax jabs given to soldiers sent to Iraq.

In one unit - 33 Field Hospital - not one child conceived around the time of last year’s Gulf War was born healthy.

Campaigning Lib Dem MP Paul Tyler will call on Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon to order a scientific probe into why so many families have been blighted.

“We need to find out exactly what has happened. This number of pregnancies don’t just go wrong for no reason,” he said.

“Until a full study is carried out these families won’t get the answers they need.

“Geoff Hoon should make a statement to the House on what his department is doing to solve the mystery of what has happened to the babies of 33 Field Hospital.”
