HC Deb 13 May 1908 vol 188 c1125
LORD BALCARRES (Lancashire, Chorley)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, what weight of cordite known to contain mercuric chloride has been issued by his Department to the troops during the last twelve months.

MR. HALDANE:

The amount of cordite known to contain mercuric chloride which has been issued to the troops cannot be ascertained without reference to the various stations.
