§ Mr. Wareingasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has received concerning the sale of HMS Glamorgan to the Chilean navy; what his response was; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. EggarMy right hon. and learned Friend has received a number of representations from right hon. and hon. Members and from the public concerning this sale. We take scrupulous care not to approve the supply of defence items which in our judgment are likely to be used for internal repression. A naval destroyer does not come into this category.
