§ Mr. Llew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what information he has received on the sale of remote control undersea detonators to Iraq by Oceano Instruments UK Ltd. of Edinburgh in 1990; and whether Lord Justice Scott has asked his Department for any information held on this equipment sale.
§ Mr. FreemanThese matters are being investigated by Sir Richard Scott and it would therefore be inappropriate for me to comment. The question of information requested by the Scott inquiry is a matter for the inquiry and the Ministry of Defence.
