HC Deb 19 June 1968 vol 766 c147W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence (1) what quantities of CS gas, manufactured at Nancekuke, were sold to police forces abroad during 1967 at a cost of 35s. per pound;

(2) if he will state the names of the 60 countries whose police forces purchase CS gas made at Nancekuke in Cornwall.

Mr. John Morris

No CS gas was sold direct to police forces abroad during 1967. Quantities of CS were, however, sold to a British firm which makes riot control devices and exports them to a number of countries overseas under export licences issued by the Board of Trade. It is not the practice to disclose information about export licences.
