HC Deb 22 November 1994 vol 250 c139W
Mr. Fatchett

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how much has been spent by his Department to promote the sale of arms to(a) Indonesia, (b) Nigeria, (c) Malaysia, (d) Saudi Arabia, (e) Jordan (f) the United Arab Emirates, (g) Qatar, (h) Oman and (i) Turkey, in each of the last five years.

Mr. Freeman

It is not possible to break down the cost of sales promotion in individual countries. The net cost of the Defence Export Services Organisation in 1993–94 was £16.02 million. Changes in accounting conventions make exact comparison with earlier years difficult.
