HC Deb 07 May 1986 vol 97 c114W
Mr. Ashdown

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will estimate the cost to United Kingdom industry of the new United States export control régime in the United Kingdom; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alan Clark

It is not possible to estimate the cost of complying with the new United States distribution licence regulations, which depends on how often, if at all, United Kingdom companies comply. Such compliance is unlikely unless United Kingdom companies see commercial justification for doing so.
