§ Mr. Pardoeasked the Secretary of State for Defence how many cases of nerve gas poisoning among persons who have been employed at the Defence Establishment, Nancekuke, have been reported to his Department.
§ Mr. John MorrisSo far as can be traced there have been only two cases in the history of the Chemical Defence Establishment, Nancekuke, of persons employed there or previously employed there claiming that they have suffered from nerve gas poisoning.
§ Mr. Pardoeasked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will investigate the incidence of death and disability among persons who have been employed at the Defence Establishment, Nancekuke; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. John MorrisMy hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State for the Army wrote yesterday to the hon. Member pointing out that it would be wrong to assume that service at the Chemical Defence Establishment, Nancekuke, had anything to do with the cases reported in the Press. He did, however, undertake to look into any particular case which the hon. Member felt required investigation.
