asked the President of the Board of Trade what representations he has received from exporting houses whose licences to export sporting arms and ammunition to South Africa have been revoked; and what replies he has sent.

Mr. Redhead

My right hon. Friend has received representations from the Gun Trade Association and from manuturers and exporters of sporting weapons and ammunition. He has told them that there can be no question of reconsidering the decision to stop the shipment of these weapons to South Africa, as announced by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister on 17th November.
