HC Deb 06 July 1937 vol 326 cc177-8
49. Mr. Day

asked the Secretary of State for War particulars of any foreign countries who are parties to the Geneva protocol and who at present maintain poison-gas experimental stations and carry out experimental research work?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

The hon. Member was given an answer to the first part of his question on 14th June. I will send him a copy of an answer given on 17th March in reply to a question by the hon. Baronet the Member for Bethnal Green, South-West (Sir P. Harris). It answers the second part of the question.

Mr. Day

Has the right hon. Gentleman received information that foreign countries are increasing their experiments in this direction?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

No, Sir. I have not received that information.
