Did emulsion paint ever contain lead?

I’ve just stripped the wallpaper off my bedroom, and there is a layer of old yellow emulsion paint

The house was built in the 1950s, and I was wondering if emulsion ever contained lead.

Apparently, you can use a 'Lead Paint Test Kit' which should be available at your local decorator's supplier.
