HC Deb 19 June 1973 vol 858 c86W
51. Mr. Rose

asked the Minister of State for Defence what form of gas and rubber bullets are currently being used in Northern Ireland.

Mr. Blaker

In Northern Ireland, the security forces have used CS smoke, dispersed from both hand-thrown grenades and projected cartridges. They also use a solid rubber projectile, bullet shaped and measuring about six inches by about one and a half inches in diameter.
