HL Deb 08 July 1982 vol 432 cc992-3WA
Lord Molson

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether any napalm weapons or dum-dum bullets were found in the equipment of the Argentine forces in the Falkland Islands.

The Minister of State for Defence Procurement (Viscount Trenchard)

Our forces reported the discovery of stocks of a substance which was believed to be napalm together with filled tanks for its aerial delivery; our forces also reported what appear to be dum-dum bullets. We are continuing to investigate the precise nature of the substances found but further analysis may be required in the United Kingdom before a positive identification can be made.
