HC Deb 20 February 1956 vol 549 c8W
78. Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Minister of Defence what action has been taken as a result of the recent inquiries into the sale of arms to private dealers.

Sir W. Monckton

Action is being taken along the lines which were indicated in the White Paper on the Export of Surplus War Material (Cmd. 9676) and during the debate in the House on 24th January. Proceedings have been instituted against the company charged with attempting to export tank tracks after the revocation of the export licence (which is referred to in paragraph 16 (c) (ii) of the White Paper).
