§ Mr. Frank Allaunasked the Lord Privy Seal whether-he is satisfied that the granting of permission for Plessey to export radar units to South Africa which have a direct military application is not a breach of the United Nations arms embargo; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. HurdThe export of this equipment was approved by both the previous and present Governments on the 101W understanding that it is for use in a combined civil and military air control system and involves no infringement of the United Nations arms embargo. We have no doubt that the system in question has a genuine civil application.
