HC Deb 16 January 1984 vol 52 c81W
Mr. Fatchett

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list the countries to which the royal ordnance factories exported in the financial year 1982–83.

Mr. Pattie

While all exports of defence equipment require Governmental approval it is not normal practice—and indeed in some cases it is forbidden under the contract conditions imposed by the other Governments concerned — to disclose details of individual export sales.
