HC Deb 20 December 1994 vol 251 cc1166-7W
Mr. Soley

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, who services the British Hawk aircraft sold to Indonesia.

Mr. Freeman

The Indonesians service the Hawk aircraft themselves.

Mr. Byers

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence on what dates between 1984 and the present memoranda of understanding relating to defence contracts were agreed with the Government of Indonesia; and what was the subject matter and their value.

Mr. Freeman

A general co-operation MOU was signed between the United Kingdom and Indonesia in 1983. This MOU has been extended and supplemented but remains in place. It is not the practice to give details of the contents of MOUs between Governments.

Mr. Gunnell

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what assistance towards military training is being given to Indonesia during the current financial year.

Mr. Soames

The United Kingdom has provided training, including developmental and technical courses, for Indonesian students during the current financial year. Details of such training are not normally disclosed, however, as they are regarded as confidential between Governments.
