Camden Lab - Letter from Frank Dobson & Govt. deal : Lab in "return" for flats

London Against Camden Danger Lab | 20.05.2008 14:55 | Animal Liberation | Bio-technology | Other Press | London | World

We have a letter from Frank Dobson MP for Camden. {9th May} and it appears that the government are trying to do a deal. They are, it seems, trying to persuade the people of London to accept a deadly lab near Kings Cross in "return" for flats on the Hampstead Road site, currently owned by the NIMR. If built the lab will see the Somers Town estate and surround, patrolled by armed police.

Letter from Frank Dobson MP.


Thank you for your letter about the prosed laboratory on the lan behind the British Library. My own view is that the best use for the land would be local housing at rents that ordinary people can afford. If, however, the combined views of the Medical Research Council, CRUK, the Wellcome Trust and UCL have convinced the govt, that the lab is a good idea, then I think it should only be allowed to go ahead if the National Temperance Hospital site is made over for social housing.

The product of the research carried out in the lab, if built, would clearly be of great benefit. It may well be that the category 4 work, involving viruses, will not be carried out there. If so, than the work should be no more dangerous or likely to attract terrorism than work already going on in the central area at UCL, the Institute of Neurology or at CRUK labs in Lincolns Inn
Fields.

I have already raised the question of security from terrorism with Ministers as I don't believe they would approve the lab's location in the face of contrary advice from the security services.

Frank Dobson.


We are utterly opposed to this "deal". As I have said before, this is in my opinion, tantamount to someone stealing from you then you offering you a deal : Some back in return for keeping the rest. Absolutely no way.
