Mr. Boateng

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if any representations have been made regarding the use by the Ethiopian Army of chemical weapons, nerve gas, cluster bombs and napalm against people in Eritrea and Tigré.

No. We have no evidence that the Ethiopian Army intends to use such weapons. The United Kingdom unreservedly condemns the use of chemical weapons anywhere.
