HC Deb 26 July 1926 vol 198 c1713W
Mr. AMMON

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that prior to 1924 defensive gas instruction, including the use of box respirators, was not in use in the Army, and was resumed in 1924; and will he state whether such instruction is now given?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

The hon. Member appears to be under a misapprehension. Training in anti-gas measures, including the use of respirators, has been given continuously in the Army since 1915.
