§ Mr. Frank Allaunasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what action has been taken at the recent 1977 session of the Ad Hoc Committee on Conventional Weapons towards prohibitions of, or restrictions on, the use of napalm.
§ Mr. LuardA Dutch proposal to protect civilians from the indiscriminate use of incendiaries and flame weapons, including napalm, attracted the widest support of any on this subject. The United Kingdom worked to increase this support by tabling an amendment. However, since no final agreement was reached on it or on a number of proposals on other matters, the United Kingdom co-sponsored a resolution to set up a further conference by 1979 to complete the work of the Ad Hoc Committee.
