HC Deb 28 January 1977 vol 924 cc800-1W
Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what types of information on impact-based riot control weapons is covered by information-sharing agreements with the United States of America.

Mr. Robert C. Brown

All types of such information are eligible for exchange under the provisions of the ABCA Standardisation Agreement of 1964 covering the general interchange of information between the Armies of the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia and the Canadian Forces.

Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what new riot control weapons are currently under development by or for his Department.

Mr. Robert C. Brown

I am sure my hon. Friend will understand that it would not be in the interests of security to disclose details of weapons under development.
