§ Mr. MANDERasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in respect of what items, if any, the international embargo of arms to Bolivia and Paraguay covers arms; and whether material for aeroplanes, aeroplane motors, separate parts thereof or munitions differs from the articles enumerated in the Arms Export Prohibition Order of 1931?
§ Sir J. SIMONAs I explained in reply to a question by the hon. Member on 27th June last, the Chaco embargo covers arms, war material, aeroplanes, aeroplane motors, separate parts thereof and munitions, and His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom interpret this for their part as imposing upon them the obligation to prevent the supply of the articles enumerated in the Arms Export Prohibition Order of 1931, a copy of which I communicated to the hon. Member in June last. If the hon. Member will refer to the list of articles contained in this Order he will see that aircraft, assembled or dismantled, are specifically mentioned, as are appliances for use with arms and apparatus exclusively designed and intended for land, sea or aerial warfare.
