HC Deb 23 March 1989 vol 149 cc762-3W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy if he will list for each year since 1979 the number of requests for approval that his Department has received for the export of fissile materials; and if he will further list the consignor and consignee in each case, along with the amount of material permitted in each case.

Mr. Michael Spicer

It has been the standard practice of successive Governments not to make public the details of export licence applications for the various categories of goods controlled.
