§ 4. Major Sir BERTRAM FALLEasked the Secretary for India if our troops are making use of gas-shells or gas in any form against the tribes on the North-Western Frontier; and, if not, will he give the reason?
§ Mr. FISHERThe Government of India as at present advised do not propose to use gas except as a retaliation.
§ Sir B. FALLEDoes not my right hon. Friend think we are more than justified in using gas-shells against a savage enemy and so save the lives of our own men, when it is known that the enemy never takes prisoners and cuts up the wounded?
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYIs it the settled policy that we are not going to adopt these German methods of barbarism, even against savages?
§ Mr. FISHERI have nothing to add to what I have said.
