HC Deb 11 December 1978 vol 960 cc89-90W
Mr. Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many communications he has received objecting to the sale of military aircraft to Indonesia; and what guarantees have been sought from the Indonesian authorities that these aircraft will not be modified for use against the civilian population of Indonesia.

Mr. Tomlinson:

168 communications have been received in 1978. The aircraft are trainers and would not be suitable for use against civilians.
