§ Mr. CorbynTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what restrictions are planned on trade in armaments with Honduras; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Needham[holding answer 17 December 1993]: The export of armaments to Honduras is prohibited without a licence issued under the Export of Goods (Order) 1992. I have no plans to alter this restriction. Each application for an export licence is considered on its merits, with particular regard being paid to the criteria for arms exports agreed at the Luxembourg and Lisbon European Councils in June 1991 and June 1992.
