§ 63. Mr. Swinglerasked the Secretary of State for Industry, Trade and Regional Development to which countries the United Kingdom is at present supplying armaments; to which countries it is Her Majesty's Government's policy to refuse to supply armaments; and if he will give an 132W estimate of the loss of trade incurred by this discrimination.
§ Mr. D. PriceArms are not supplied to the Sovietbloc and Far Eastern Communist countries. Applications in respect of other countries are considered in the light of their political, strategic and economic implications. I regret that it is not possible to estimate the effects of our present policies in terms of trade.
