HL Deb 09 December 1987 vol 491 c299WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether their proposal for a treaty banning chemical weapons would result in a ban on so-called binary weapons.

Lord Glenarthur

Yes. Negotiations taking place at the Conference on Disarmament in Geneva are aimed at agreeing a comprehensive verifiable and global ban on all chemical weapons. This would include binary weapons.
