HC Deb 01 March 1971 vol 812 c365W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Minister of State for Defence what study he has made of the problem of examining computer components, in particular those such as it is proposed to sell to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, to determine whether they are being used for military rather than civil purposes.

Lord Balniel

Strategic and security factors are fully taken into account when all applications for licences to export computer components to the Soviet Union and its associates are considered.
