34. Mr. Goodhart

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he expects to complete his review of existing arms contracts with Chile.

36. Mr. Horam

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he has completed his review of existing arms contracts with Chile; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. James Callaghan

Her Majesty's Government have now completed the review of defence sales to Chile. As the House is aware, no new export licences for arms will be granted under the present Government's policy towards the régime. But the ships already acquired under existing contracts will be delivered and spares and equipment relating to those contracts will be allowed.
