Mr. Richard Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what was the original value, when new, of the second-hand weapons sold by the Government to the Government of El Salvador for a price of £850,000

Mr. Mulley

It is not our practice to disclose such information.

Mr. Richard Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether the Government have sold any other equipment which could conceivably be used for quelling internal demonstrations to the Government of El Salvador since 1972.

Mr. Mulley

The present contract is the only one concluded by Her Majesty's Government for the sale of defence equipment to El Salvador in the period in question.
