The request was successful.

From: Alvin Pritchard.

10 June 2009

Dear Sir or Madam, Why did the M.O.D reject The Rt Hon Lord Lloyd
Inquiry of 2004, which aim was to investigate the circumstances
that have led to the ill health, and in some cases death, of over
6,000 British troops following deployment to the first Gulf War ?
And why were NONE of the noble lords recommendations made in his
report implemented ?

Yours faithfully,

Alvin Pritchard.

Dear DCDS PERS-PCV-LEGACY GULF-DU(Plato, Jim C2),
Absolute rubbish. I put it to you that this whole subject has been
a organized "COVER UP" at the highest level from day one. Do you
think that The Rt Hon Lord Lloyd`s Inquiry was held for fun?

Yours sincerely,

Alvin Pritchard.

Dear DCDS PERS-PCV-LEGACY GULF-DU(Plato, Jim C2), Mr Jim Plato,
Sir, Thank you for your very prompt reply on this matter. Asking me
the question "How do i know that the M.O.D covered up this matter"
is like asking me,"How many bubbles are there in a bar of soap!!
That aside, i base my findings on the following points. 1, The
findings of the 136 page Lloyd report of 2004, to which NO
governmental or M.O.D minister would attend (or were ordered not to
attend) 2, The findings of the 452 page report by the Federally
Mandated Research Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans Illnesses
of 2008, which stated that "Scientific evidence leaves no question
that Persian Gulf War Illness is a very real condition, with real
causes, and has serious consequences for affected veterans". 3, My
many own personal experiences of the last 18 years on this subject.
So my friend, no smoke without fire as they say. But for the
British Government and M.O.D to portray an image to society of
there being "nothing wrong" on this topic, is quite wrong and
perverse in my opinion.

Yours sincerely,

Alvin Pritchard.

Dear Sir or Madam, What i would add to my e-mail to you of the 6th
July is --- Over the last 18 years, as you well know, there have
been countless national and international documentaries made on
this subject (and still are being made to this day) This in itself
should, at the very least, be setting off "alarm bells" indicating
that "not all is well" together with the Government and M.O.Ds
constant policy of denying from day one on "Gulf War Syndrome"
indicates suspicion. Finally, Mr.Plato, being that you sir, are a
paid employee of the M.O.D, it would be highly unlikely that you
would admit to any wrong doing by your department on this important
matter. I now bring my observations to a close. With Best Wishes.

Yours faithfully,

Alvin Pritchard.
