§ 28. Mr. Dayasked the President of the Board of Trade whether the Arms Export Prohibition Order still applies to all Continental countries; whether the export of all arms or munitions is still subject to licence from his Department; and is any undertaking given to his Department that arms and munitions so exported shall not in future be re-exported?
§ Captain WallaceThe answers to the first and second parts of the question are in the affirmative. With regard to the last part, licences for the export of arms are only issued on condition that the owner or shipper, if so required by the Commissioners of Customs and Excise, shall produce to them proof to their satisfaction that the goods were delivered to the destination to which the goods were consigned.
§ Mr. DayCan the Minister say whether any complaints have been received that much of this ammunition has been re-exported to Spain?
§ Captain WallaceNot without notice.
