HC Deb 22 June 2000 vol 352 c244W
Dr. Lynne Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what was the value of United Kingdom arms exports to Saudi Arabia in each of the past five years. [126251]

Dr. Moonie

I refer my hon. Friend to the 1997 and 1998 Annual Reports on Strategic Export Controls, which contain details of the value of arms exports to Saudi Arabia. Copies of these reports have been placed in the Library of the House. The 1999 Annual Report is due to be published shortly. Comparable information for other year could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
