HC Deb 16 March 1988 vol 129 c570W
Ms. Armstrong

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether the implications for development will be taken into account when consideration is given to granting a licence for the export of infantry radars to the Sudan.

Mr. Alan Clark

It has been the practice of successive Governments not to discuss their consideration of export licence applications for individual export orders. However, each application is judged on its merits taking into account all relevant factors including the nature of the equipment, its destination and end use.
