§ Mr. MichaelTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what evidence he has received of the shipments of nerve gas to Somalia; and what representation he has made or will make to the Government of Somalia and to the United Nations in order to achieve international pressure to prevent the use of such materials.
§ Mrs. ChalkerWe are not aware of any evidence to support claims that nerve gas has been supplied to Somalia. In these circumstances it would not be appropriate to make representations to the Government of Somalia or in the United Nations.
