HC Deb 03 March 1988 vol 128 c641W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he will institute an inquiry into the circumstances in which carbon carbon technology was exported to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics by Consarc of Bellshill in contravention of the regulations governing the export of sensitive materials to Communist bloc countries; what co-operation Her Majesty's Government intend to give to the United States Congressional inquiry into this matter: and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alan Clark

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to the hon. Member for Falkirk, West (Mr. Canavan) on 29 February, at column 416. I see no need to institute an inquiry.
