HC Deb 23 March 1979 vol 964 cc316-7W
Mr. Trotter

asked the Secretary of State for Defence how much greater the figure of £100 million for estimated sales of defence equipment to Iran in 1979–80 referred to in his reply to the hon. Member for Tynemouth of 5 March 1979 would have been if allowance had not been made for actual or anticipated cancellations or non-completion of contracts.

Mr. Mulley

No greater. The figure of about £100 million for estimated sales of defence equipment to Iran in 1979–80 assumed the continuation of contracts and made no allowance for their possible cancellation or termination.
