HC Deb 18 February 1991 vol 186 c11W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will list in theOfficial Report all items of industrial dual-use equipment, materials and technology subject to control in connection with the missile technology control regime.

Mr. Sainsbury

[holding answer 12 February 1991]: The United Kingdom gives effect to its commitments as a member of the missile technology control regime through the Export of Goods (Control) Order. This requires a licence for the export to any destination of goods which are sensitive for missile technology reasons, a detailed list of which is published by my Department in "An Exporters Guide to Non-Proliferation Policy and Controls". I have placed the latest copy of the publication in the Library.

Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will set out the reasons why China, Taiwan, Burma, Brazil and Cuba remain states subject to special licensing procedures for military sensitive exports from the United Kingdom.

Mr. Sainsbury

[holding answer 12 February 1991]: All military equipment listed in group 1 of part 2 of the Export of Goods (Control) Order is subject to special licensing procedures irrespective of destination.
