Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what role was played by the trade section of the British embassy in Baghdad in securing the contract cover for the seized equipment, destined for Iraq.

Mr. Waldegrave

[holding answer 25 April]: In the light of the arrest of an individual on 25 April, and in the light of the continuing investigations by Customs and Excise, it would be wrong to comment further on these matters.
