HC Deb 29 April 1991 vol 190 c32W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Prime Minister what proposals he has for an international register of arms sales.

The Prime Minister

At the special European Council in Luxembourg on 8 April, I proposed a register of arms sales at the United Nations to monitor the scale of arms build-up in any one country. We are taking every opportunity to urge others to support the idea of such a register. Our ambassador at the United Nations is also taking this forward in New York.
