HC Deb 05 December 1977 vol 940 cc541-2W
Mr. Trotter

asked the Secretary, of State for Defence whether the terms of manufacture of Harriers under licence outside the United Kingdom would preclude sales to third countries without prior agreement of the United Kingdom; and under what circumstances such prohibition of sales would be enforced.

Dr. Gilbert

Such sales would be subject to prior consultation with the United Kingdom Government, and this consultation would take account of the relevant circumstances at the time.
