§ Mr. Ashdownasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the status, in relation to the United Kingdom, of the United States export denials list unit at the United States embassy in London.
§ Mr. EggarWe are not aware of any United States export denials list unit (or group) at the United States embassy in London. The internal workings of the United States embassy in London are in any case a matter for the United States Government. As my hon. Friend the Minister for Trade confirmed to the hon. Member on 27 March at column611, the United States denied parties list has no status in United Kingdom law.
