HC Deb 01 February 1991 vol 184 c691W
Mr. Sillars

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the latest list of weapons outlawed by international law; and what efforts the United Kingdom is making to extend that list.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

There is no international agreed list of outlawed weapons. However, restrictions on certain types of weapon are included in a variety of international agreements. Such restrictions apply only to countries which are parties to the agreement.
