HC Deb 23 February 1926 vol 192 c280
35. Major Sir GRANVILLE WHELER

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he has any information to the effect that German chemists are still being employed by Chinese militarists for the manufacture of poison gas, as stated in his reply to the hon. Member for Saffron Walden (Mr. Foot Mitchell) on 15th July, 1925?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

As the result of further inquiries, I do not think that the previous information in regard to this matter can be relied upon. The German Government deny that any German chemists are in the employment of the Chinese militarists. I accept the denial unreservedly.
