HC Deb 20 May 1991 vol 191 c333W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Prime Minister if he will seek a debate on the United Nations on the United Nations Publication, "Topical Paper 3—Transparency in International Arms Transfers".

The Prime Minister

We are in favour of greater transparency in international arms transfers. On 8 April I proposed the establishment of a United Nations register of arms sales. We are discussing this with members of the Security Council, the Twelve and others. We fully expect it to be the subject of debate at the next general assembly.
