§ Mr. GoodmanTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if she will list arms sales from UK companies to India and Pakistan approved since 1997. [44761]
§ Nigel GriffithsThe Department of Trade and Industry's Export Control Organisation does not record arms sales. It records details of all export licences issued and refused, which are published in the Government's annual reports on strategic export controls, copies of which are available in the Libraries of the House.
The granting of a licence does not necessarily translate into a sale.
