HC Deb 05 May 1987 vol 115 c362W
Mr. Cartwright

asked the Secretary of State for Defence which countries were visited by representatives of the Defence Export Services Organisation in 1986.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

Representatives of the DESO travelled widely in 1986 to some 50 countries interested in British defence equipment. But because of the confidentiality of many of the transactions involved it is not the practice to list individual countries where discussions have been taking place.
