HC Deb 13 December 1993 vol 234 c461W
Ms Armstrong

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when the recently lifted arms embargo on Angola was imposed; what publicity was given to the decision at the time; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

When Angola became independent in 1976, the restrictions on the supply of defence equipment which at that time applied to the Soviet Union and its close allies, were applied to Angola. We are not aware that this policy was made public.
