§ Mr. WorthingtonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what restrictions he places on the type of arms that could be sold to Indonesia; and if he will join the embargo on small arms sales to Indonesia.
§ Mr. GoodladThe export to any destination of arms and other goods listed in the Export of Goods (Control) Order 1994 is prohibited without a licence issued by my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade. All applications for export licences for defence equipment are considered carefully on a case by case basis in the light of established criteria. In the case of Indonesia, we would not, for example, licence for export equipment likely to be used for internal repression. There is no United Nations or European Union embargo on arms sales to Indonesia.
