§ Mrs. Renée Shortasked the Secretary of State for Defence why, in view of Her Majesty's Government's adherence to the Geneva Convention restricting the spreading of information on chemical and biological war weapons, his Department passes on the classified results of this research to the United States Government.
§ Mr. John MorrisThe Geneva Protocol of 1925 forbids the use of chemical and biological methods of warfare subject to the right reserved by some signatories, including the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union, to use these weapons in retaliation. It does not deal with the dissemination of information about these methods of warfare.
§ Mrs. Renée Shortasked the Secretary of State for Defence what means of delivery of the chemical and biological war weapons being manufactured at Porton are owned by Great Britain; and what additional methods are to be produced within the next five years.
§ Mr. John MorrisNo chemical or biological war weapons are manufactured at Porton and there are no plans to do so.
