HL Deb 23 March 1983 vol 440 c1224WA
Lord Brockway

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether, in view of their statement that they would not grant an export licence if it were thought that "the equipment was likely to be for the purposes of repression", they will end the sale of arms to Indonesia while its Government continues attacks on East Timor.

Lord Belstead

The situation in East Timor is one of the factors we take into account when considering specific proposals for the sale of arms to Indonesia.
