HC Deb 09 April 2003 vol 403 c263W
Mr. Gardiner

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether the measures relating to the use of intranets in the draft Orders under the Export Control Act 2000 require that intranet servers are located in the United Kingdom. [106088]

Nigel Griffiths

The consultation document on the draft secondary legislation sets out how the proposed controls on the electronic transfer of information would operate in respect of the location and use of internet servers.

Whether or not a licence is required depends on where the addressee of an electronic transfer is located, not on where the transfer may be routed in the course of the transfer.
