HC Deb 17 June 1959 vol 607 cc37-8W
Mr. Harold Davies

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to what extent the German Federal Republic is now producing its own chemical and bacteriological weapons for rearmament.

Mr. Allan

In the revised Brussels Treaty the Federal Republic of Germany undertook not to manufacture these weapons. It is the task of the Armaments Control Agency of Western European Union to ensure that these undertakings are observed. The Agency has reported, as a result of control activities carried out in 1958, that they have been observed.
