HL Deb 31 January 2005 vol 669 c16WA
Lord Alton of Liverpool

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What progress they have made in their investigation into attempts by British businessmen to sell tanks, personnel carriers, an Antonov aircraft and munitions to the government of Sudan. [HL772]

Lord McIntosh of Haringey

Customs have made all appropriate enquiries into allegations concerning UK businessmen supplying the government of Sudan with military equipment. As a result of those enquiries Customs have concluded that there is insufficient evidence to justify any further enquiries and intend to take no further action unless new information comes to light.
