HL Deb 09 December 1991 vol 533 c21WA
Lord Hylton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether there is evidence to show that the Government of Burma has conducted chemical and biological warfare within its own frontiers in recent years.

Lord Cavendish of Furness

There have been allegations that the Government of Burma may be developing a chemical weapons capability and that chemical agents may have been used in Burma. It is not our practice to comment publicly on information which may be available to us on such matters.
