HC Deb 29 November 1976 vol 921 c35W
Mr. Blaker

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what information he has about the stockpiling of nerve gases by the Warsaw Pact forces; and whether he is satisfied that his plans for defence against such gases are adequate.

Dr. Gilbert

The USSR has both the weapons and munitions for offensive chemical warfare, together with stocks of nerve agent. All our NATO assigned forces are equipped with protective equipment to a high standard.
