HC Deb 06 March 1991 vol 187 cc202-3W
Mr. O'Neill

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs in which international forum the export of lethal and non-lethal military equipment is discussed.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

There are several forums including the co-ordinating committee for multilateral export controls, the missile technology control regime, groupings of nuclear suppliers and the Australia group, whose aim is to strengthen export controls on chemical and biological weapons. The subject is also discussed in the United Nations.
