HL Deb 14 January 1997 vol 577 c22WA
The Countess of Mar

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will review their written reply of the 4th June 1996 (H.L. Deb., WA 120) to the Countess of Mar in the light of evidence that chemical weapons were deployed and used during the Gulf War.

Earl Howe

My department keeps this matter under continuous review, in close liaison with the US authorities. Neither our own research nor that of the American authorities has so far provided any corroborative evidence for the deployment or use of chemical warfare weapons during the conflict.
