HC Deb 27 March 1986 vol 94 c609W
Mr. Ashdown

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what is the policy of (i) the Central Computer Telecommunications Agency and (ii) his Department regarding the purchase or the receipt of tenders for computers and software from companies which seek to impose extra-territorial controls on the movement and resale of their products; and if he will make a statement

Mr. Alan Clark

This Department does not accept any extra-territorial constraints when making such purchases. The Central Computer and Telecomunications agency is the responsibility of my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
