HC Deb 06 July 1987 vol 119 c63W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what is Her Majesty's Government's policy towards the export of O class submarines to non-North Atlantic Treaty Organisation member countries.

Mr. Sainsbury

Any such sale would be subject to the normal export licensing procedure. All applications for permission to export defence equipment take full account of political strategic and security interests.
