HC Deb 24 July 1972 vol 841 cc206-7W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if Her Majesty's Government will initiate proposals for an international ban on the use of weapons containing phosphorus.

Mr. Godber

The study of incendiary weapons which is being prepared by the United Nations Secretary-General will no doubt include discussion of these weapons. This report, when completed, may indicate whether anything practical could be achieved by negotiations in an arms control forum.
