HC Deb 16 May 1985 vol 79 c188W
Mr. Ashdown

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list in the Official Report all the different types of licences operated or granted by his Department and the year in which they first came into operation.

Mr. Rifkind

Member to refer.
