The Export Control Organisation's computer databases have been interrogated and the results are as follows for the period between 13 November 1997 and 6 February 1998 in respect of applications for individual licences to export to endusers or consignees in Indonesia goods controlled by Part III of Schedule 1 to the Export of Goods (Control) Order (the so-called "Military List").

Licences issued Licenses revoked Applications refused in full
Standard Individual Export Licences 26 0 2
Open Individual Export Licences 0 0 0

This information should be considered in light of my answer to a question from my hon. Friend the Member for Don Valley (Caroline Flint) on 30 October 1997, Official Report, columns 870–71.

Two of the standard individual export licences included in the table were issued on 13 November, and so are also included in the table in my answer to the hon. Member for West Dorset (Mr. Letwin), on 2 December 1997, Official Report, columns 124–26.
