§ Mr. Frank Allaunasked the Secretary of State for Trade what evidence he has to indicate that inverters have been exported to Pakistan subsequent to the ban imposed on 9 November 1978.
§ Mr. Parkinson,pursuant to his reply [Official Report, 9 July 1979; Vol. 970; c. 39], gave the following answer:
I am aware of certain press reports suggesting that inverters may be intended for export. Such goods require an export licence before they can be exported to any destination. If the hon. Member has 164W any information which indicates that licensable goods may be or may have been exported without a licence he should let me have it as soon as possible.
