HC Deb 19 May 1919 vol 116 c41
94. Colonel WEDGWOOD

asked the Secretary of State for War whether poison gas or plant for the making of it has been sent to Russia for use against the revolutionary Russians, either for the use of our troops or for the use of counter revolutionary Russians?

Captain GUEST

As the Bolsheviks have already employed gas on the Northern front, preparations are being made to retaliate with this weapon. Every precaution is being taken to protect our brave troops against the inhuman methods of the Soviet forces.
