§ Mr. FlynnTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry when his Department next plans to hold seminars on changes to United Kingdom export controls to prevent proliferation; and if he will make a statement on the outcome of the export control seminars his Department sponsored for industry in 1991.
§ Mr. Sainsbury[holding answer 21 February 1992]: Five DTI non-proliferation seminars are planned for this year, the first in Manchester on 23 March.
The seminars held last year were well received by industry. I am satisfied that they made a valuable contribution to highlighting awareness about the risks of clandestine procurement activities and explaining export controls.
