HC Deb 04 March 1985 vol 74 cc352-3W
Mr. Ashdown

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what discussions he has had with the United States Government over their claim that Inmos needs United States approval in the form of a licence to re-ship its own technology from the United Kingdom to other destinations.

Mr. Fletcher

Our objections to the extraterritorial application of US export controls are well known to the US Administration. But I am not aware that Inmos are experiencing particular difficulties from this cause.
