§ Mr. Deakinsasked the Secretary of State for Defence if the United Kingdom continues to observe the arms embargo on Israel introduced after the invasion of Lebanon in 1982; and if it affects the training of members of the Israeli armed forces by Britain and invitations to Israel to visit British military exhibitions.
§ Mr. Archie HamiltonWe remain disappointed by the residual Israeli presence on Lebanese territory and continue to maintain restrictions on arms sales to Israel. This policy is kept under review. Proposals for military training and visits of members of the Israeli defence force are in each case considered carefully on their merits.
