§ Mr. Wigleyasked the Prime Minister pursuant to her answer of 22 April, Official Report, c. 123 to the hon. Member for Bolsover (Mr. Skinner) if she will now list the countries to whom Her Majesty's Government considered selling arms, but decided against doing so, on account of the human rights record of the Government concerned.
§ The Prime MinisterIn the case of countries with bad human rights records, our policy is not to sell types of equipment which, in our judgment, are likely to be used for the purpose of internal repression. This policy is carefully applied, but it would not in our view be in the national interest to give details.
