HC Deb 05 June 1985 vol 80 c175W
31. Mr. Mikardo

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether licences are required for the export of chemical weapons or of weapons-grade chemicals; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Channon

Chemical weapons are under export licensing control, as are the most common chemical intermediates which could be used to make chemical weapons. The position is kept constantly under review.
