§ Mr. Corbynasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on arms sales to Morocco from 1979 to the present time.
§ Mr. RentonIt is not the practice to publish details of defence sales. Most of Morocco's military equipment is of United States and French origin. United Kingdom arms sales in recent years have been modest.
§ Mr. Corbynasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assistance the British embassy in Morocco is giving to United Kingdom companies involved in exploiting phosphate deposits in Morocco.
§ Mr. RifkindMoroccan phosphate deposits are exploited exclusively by the Moroccan Office Cherifien des Phosphates (OCP). Our posts at Rabat and Casablanca offer assistance to British companies wishing to do business with OCP and the full range of British Overseas Trade Board services is available.
