HC Deb 03 February 1997 vol 289 c506W
Mrs. Clwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what reports he has received on the use of United Kingdom-supplied water cannons at the demonstration in Bandung, West Java, in June 1996; and if he will review his policy in respect of the use of United Kingdom-supplied crowd control equipment to disperse demonstrators.

Mr. Hanley

We are studying reports, including one from the hon. Member, of the use of water cannon in this incident. Export licence applications for all destinations are considered case by case in the light of the established criteria to which we are committed. We have no plans to review this policy.

Forward to
