Volume 1: Findings and Conclusions
Annex 2: Individual criticisms
Medicines and cosmetics

  • Dr Gerald Jones was responsible for deciding the priority to be accorded to BSE in relation to other work within Medicines Division and setting in hand appropriate action. He should have asked for the paper for the Biologicals Sub-Committee (BSC) to be prepared for the September rather than the November meeting (Volume 1, paragraphs 890-891; Volume 7, paragraphs 4.127-4.141).
  • Dr Pickles and Mr Lowson should have alerted DTI in 1989 to the need to consider cosmetics products in relation to BSE (Volume 1, paragraphs 1006-1008; Volume 7, paragraphs 8.147-8.159).
