HC Deb 30 April 1973 vol 855 c222W
Mr. Judd

asked the Minister of State for Defence whether he will make a statement on the tests currently being undertaken in the United States on a new British riot control gas.

Mr. Ian Gilmour

A research quantity of a new riot control agent code named CR has been supplied to the United States Department of Defence for evaluation under an agreement with the United States Army for the exchange of information and equipment. The results of their tests will, under the agreement, be made available in due course to the United Kingdom.
