§ Mr. Gareth WardellTo ask the Secretary of State For Trade and Industry what information he has on the level at which British arms manufacturers are currently supplying equipment to the warring factions in Yugoslavia.
§ Mr. Lilley[holding answer 11 November 1991]: None. The Twelve members of the European Community agreed an embargo on the supply of arms to Yugoslavia on 5 July 1991. Her Majesty's Government fully supported this initiative and the DTI, in anticipation, revoked all export licences for weapons and military equipment to Yugoslavia on 3 July 1991. These measures were reinforced by the adoption of United Nations Security Council resolution 713 on 25 September which placed a general and complete embargo on all deliveries of weapons and military equipment to Yugoslavia.
