§ Mr. Hooleyasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether any embargo has been placed on the export to Chile of tropospheric scatter equipment; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RowlandsThe export of tropospheric scatter equipment to all destinations is subject to export licensing control. No embargo has been placed on its export to any particular destination, but every individual export licence application is examined on its merits in the light of all relevant criteria, including the end use of the equipment in each case.
