Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he has any evidence of the use of chemical weapons by Iraq in its recent offensive in the Fao peninsula; and if he will make a statement.

We continue to examine reports of the recent battle in the Fao peninsula. To date we have no conclusive evidence of the use of chemical weapons in that offensive.
