HC Deb 10 November 1955 vol 545 cc221-2W
86. Mr. Warbey

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will define the categories of weapons which are treated by Her Majesty's Government as weapons of mass destruction for the purpose of discussions on disarmament and related questions.

Mr. Nutting

The present discussions on disarmament are still concerned with general principles and we have not yet reached the stage of the negotiation of a disarmament treaty. When this stage is reached all categories of weapons will, of course, have to be carefully defined.
