Lord Avebury

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have sought an undertaking from the Bahrain Government that military equipment sold to them by United Kingdom firms will not be used for internal repression. [HL1177]

Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean

We will not issue an export licence if there is a clearly identifiable risk that the proposed export might be used for internal repression.
