§ Mrs. Ewingasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans he has to make available defensive equipment against a germ warfare attack for the civilian population of Scotland developed as a result of the defensive research into antibodies carried out at Porton.
§ Mr. RossThe Government consider that the use of biological weapons against this country is unlikely in present circumstances. There are, therefore, no grounds at present which would call for the issue of protective equipment to members of the public, though the position is kept under review.
