HC Deb 28 January 1988 vol 126 c348W
Mr. Malcolm Bruce

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster by what percentage he intends to cut the COCOM international lists; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alan Clark

The aim of the Department is to achieve maximum reduction of COCOM's international lists consistent with our national security interests. It is not practicable to express our objectives in percentage terms.
