HC Deb 27 March 1986 vol 94 c555W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what guidance he has given to oil companies on the export of oil to Israel; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Walker

I have nothing to add to the reply I gave my hon. Friend on 8 December 1983 at column 222.

Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what are the implications for United Kingdom policy of the recent decision of the European Court regarding the export of oil to the state of Israel.

Mr. Peter Walker

The recent rulings of the European Court of Justice confirm Her Majesty's Government's view that the guidance given to exporters of North sea crude oil is in conformity with European Community law.
