HL Deb 17 May 1999 vol 601 c13WA
Lord Orme

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they are proposing to export spare parts for Canadian NATO Stabilisation Force (SFOR) armoured vehicles in Bosnia. [HL2485]

Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean

The Government have granted a licence for the export to Bosnia of spare parts for armoured vehicles deployed by the Canadian NATO Stabilisation Force (SFOR). We were glad to approve this export licence in view of the need for SFOR to maintain its vehicles so that it can carry out its peacekeeping activities with the maximum degree of safety.
