HC Deb 24 June 1993 vol 227 cc275-6W
Dr. Lynne Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what after-sales monitoring takes place to ensure that Hawk aircraft sold for training purposes are not converted to fighter aircraft.

Mr. Aitken

Consideration is always given to the use to which defence equipment might be put before an export licence is granted. Assurances as to the end use of the Hawk aircraft will also be sought prior to supply.
