HC Deb 25 November 1987 vol 123 c222W
Mr. Fearn

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how much the United Kingdom earned from the export trade of its commercial film industry in 1967, 1977, 1983, 1985, and 1986.

Mr. Maude

The information is given in the table. It comprises United Kingdom exports of cinematographic film and the receipts of United Kingdom film companies from performances overseas of their films and from production services provided to overseas film companies.

We have normal trade relations with Paraguay, but are not aware of any recent sale of weapons nor of any in prospect. Any proposals for sales would be considered in the light of our well-known policy, which precludes the supply of defence items that we judge likely to be used for internal repression.
