I am aware of the Ministry of Defence’s six-monthly progress report on the use of Lariam for military personnel, published by the House of Commons Defence Committee. The choice of malaria chemoprophylaxis in use by other armed forces is an internal matter for those forces. It would not be appropriate for me to comment on the policy and practices of other States in this regard .
