HC Deb 28 January 1993 vol 217 c812W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what information Her Majesty's Government have on the engineering equipment originating in the United Kingdom installed in the Zaafaraniyah plant in Iraq.

Mr. Needham

The Government have asked the United Nations special commission and the International Atomic Energy Authority for confidential details of any evidence of involvement by British companies in Iraq's weapons for mass destruction programmes. Any indication of wrongdoing will be urgently investigated and if export controls have been breached, it will, if appropriate, be a matter for the courts.
