HC Deb 26 July 1993 vol 229 cc646-7W
Mrs. Anne Campbell

To ask the President of the Board of Trade to which foreign defence industries the British nuclear industry supplies depleted uranium.

Mr. Eggar

All shipments of depleted uranium are made in accordance with the provisions of the Export of Goods (Control) Order 1992. It has been the policy of successive Administrations not to make public the details of specific export licence applications. In assessing all such applications the Government take into account the United Kingdom's obligations under the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.
