HC Deb 25 November 1930 vol 245 c1127W
Mr. TURNER

asked the Secretary of State for War whether any of the experiments now being undertaken under the direction of the Chemical Warfare Committee have reference to the offensive possibilities of poisonous or asphyxiating gases in warfare?

Mr. SHAW

The research and experiments now being conducted have solely defensive measures in view.

asked the Secretary of State for War What other information is available of the comparative effects of the result of poison-gas on living animals and human beings beyond that obtained during or prior to the late War?

Mr. SHAW

The comparative effects are studied both in the laboratories and by practical tests.
