HC Deb 12 February 1985 vol 73 c142W
Mr. Nellist

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will estimate the number of jobs in the United Kingdom which are directly or indirectly dependent on trade in defence equipment and services with Sri Lanka.

Mr. Lee

It is not possible to estimate the number of jobs in the United Kingdom which are directly or indirectly dependent on trade in defence equipment and services with Sri Lanka. Details of such trade are, of course, confidential between the two Governments, but the volume of business of this kind is not large.
