§ Mr. MORRISONasked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the signature of the agreement at Washington in which, under Article 5, the use in war of asphyxiating gas is prohibited, it is proposed to close down the experimental ground at Porton?
§ Sir R. SANDERSThe answer is in the negative. The Government would be failing in its duty if it failed to take all possible steps which might be necessary to protect the forces of the Crown and the inhabitants of the country against gas attacks in time of war.
