HC Deb 05 March 1919 vol 113 c430W
Mr. RENWICK

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Munitions whether it is possible to discontinue the manufacture of poison gas at Ellesmere Port, two deaths having recently occurred and several of the inhabitants been injured by an escape of the gas; and whether it can be arranged to remove the poison gas manufactory from the neighbourhood of Ellesmere Port to a less populous and non-manufacturing district?

Mr. JAMES HOPE

Arrangements have been made to bring the manufacture of poison gas at this factory to an end.
