HC Deb 22 July 1975 vol 896 c179W
32. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the latest negotiations at Geneva on chemical weapons.

Mr. William Rodgers

The possibility of a further convention on chemical weapons is one of the items due for discussion at the United Nations Conference of the Committee on Disarmament in Geneva. The summer session of the conference began on 24th June and a number of delegations in their opening statements have referred specifically to chemical weapons, including the United States and Soviet Union.
