HC Deb 23 May 1990 vol 173 c189W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what expertise Customs and Excise has in determining whether objects may be used for a military purpose.

Mr. Ryder

It is not the responsibility of Customs and Excise to decide whether objects may be used for a military purpose, but it is required to consult with the Department of Trade and Industry whenever it considers that objects may require an export licence.
