To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will request the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons to investigate samples taken by the United Nations and Médecins sans Frontières following allegations of chemical weapons use by the Sudanese armed forces in the villages of Lainya and Loka in Yei county on and after 23 July 1999.

We have no current plans to do so. We are not aware of any samples or other evidence that would support a referral to The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons asking them to investigate the allegations.
