HC Deb 04 August 1925 vol 187 c1133
11. Mr. CECIL WILSON

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the Committee of Imperial Defence has come to any decision as to the methods to be taken for the protection of the civil population against poison gas; and, if not, when such decision may be expected?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

Consideration of this question is progressing, but I cannot say when it will be completed.

Lieut.-Colonel Sir JOSEPH NALL

Is it not a fact that the Moscow Government are offering prizes for new inventions in poison gas?
