HC Deb 07 February 1968 vol 758 cc112-3W
68. Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

asked the President of the Board of Trade what action has been taken by his Department in connection with the proposed export of handcuffs from this country to South Africa.

Mr. Darling:

Handcuffs are not arms and their export is not controlled to any destination except for Rhodesia to which a general trade embargo applies. British firms are thus free to tender.
