HC Deb 13 July 1987 vol 119 cc342-3W
Mr. Tom Clarke

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list the countries of the world to which the United Kingdom has exported arms since May 1979.

Mr. Sainsbury

A list of 121 countries with which contracts for military equipment were signed since May 1979 and which were notified to the Ministry of Defence is as follows. As such, the list, although substantially correct, may not be comprehensive, because not all private orders, particularly those of a minor nature, are notified to the Defence Export Services Organisation.
