The Health
Committee has agreed to conduct an inquiry into the exposure
of New Zealand defence personnel to Agent Orange and other
defoliant chemicals during the Vietnam War and any health
effects of that exposure. The committee has yet to determine
its terms of reference for this inquiry, or whether it
intends calling for submissions.
A further press statement
will be made once terms of reference have been agreed
to.
