HC Deb 11 December 1985 vol 88 c636W
Miss Maynard

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps Her Majesty's Government are taking to monitor and secure compliance with the United Nations Organisation's ban on arms exports to South Africa; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Rifkind

The United Nations arms embargo is implemented in the United Kingdom by means of the Exports of Goods (Control) Order 1985 (as amended). Her Majesty's Customs and Excise is responsible for implementing the control. Any alleged breaches are fully investigated and, where appropriate, prosecutions follow.
