HC Deb 10 March 1978 vol 945 c788W
Mr. Knox

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will clarify the meaning of the expression "the international transfer of conventional weapons" in Section IV (ii) of the Draft Programme of Action on Disarmament for the United Nations Special Session on Disarmament annexed to his reply of 22nd February, Official Report, columns 1416 to 1422.

Mr. Luard

The international transfer of conventional weapons refers both to the sale of such weapons by one country to another and their donation under military aid schemes.
