HC Deb 04 March 1970 vol 797 c107W
Mr. James Davidson

asked the Secretary of State for Defence for what tactical and other operations the Army are trained in the use of C.S. gas.

Mr. Richard

The Army is trained in the use of C.S. gas primarily for riot-control purposes; and also in tactical situations where its use would be appropriate as a means of limiting conflict and preserving life.
