HC Deb 24 April 1918 vol 105 c969
12. Mr. GILBERT

asked the Under-secretary of State for War, now that some wounded men have arrived in England from the recent German advance, whether the enemy has been using any new kind of explosive, or chemical shell, or bomb, and any new kind of gas; and if he can make any general statement as to the wounds received by our men from either of these causes?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Mr. Macpherson)

My hon. Friend has furnished me with further information about this question, and I am having urgent inquiries made. I regret that these inquiries are not yet complete, but I will communicate with him as soon as possible.
