Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he received a copy of the proposal from the 89th Interparliamentary Union assembly in New Delhi relating to a ban on arms sales.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs received on 27 April a copy of a resolution entitled "Transparency in Arms Transfers through a global Arms Register, notably as a means to check the growing use of violence to achieve political objectives". This resolution did not propose a ban on arms sales.
