HC Deb 23 February 1970 vol 796 cc229-30W
96. Mr. Philip Noel-Baker

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will reprint the Report on Chemical and Biological Weapons prepared in 1969 for the Secretary General of the United Nations by an international commission of experts; and whether he will distribute the report to the members of Her Majesty's Diplomatic Service.

Mr. Luard

No. This valuable report has been published by the United Nations and has already had wide circulation and publicity. We would not therefore be justified in proposing additional expenditure. The report is readily available from Her Majesty's Stationery Office at a price of 8s. 9d. Copies are available to those members of the Diplomatic Service who are concerned with disarmament problems.
