HC Deb 21 November 1986 vol 105 c380W
Mr. Campbell-Savours

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what steps he takes to monitor compliance with end user certificate arrangements on export defence contracts.

Mr. Alan Clark

[pursuant to his reply, Thursday 20 November 1986, c. 280]: Export licences are not issued unless the Government are satisfied among other things that the end-use will be as stated in the application. It is not the practice to disclose the nature of post-delivery checks.

Mr. Campbell-Savours

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if his Department has been informed of sales of military equipment being diverted to Iran in contravention of his export licensing arrangements.

Mr. Alan Clark

[pursuant to his reply, 20 November 1986, c. 280]: No.
