Mr. Jim Cunningham

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what information he has received from embassies and other sources as to the use of British-made equipment for human rights violations. [20293]

We do not issue licences for the export of equipment likely to be used for internal repression. When considering applications for licences we pay particular attention to human rights in the countries concerned. We take account of all relevant information received from our embassies and other sources.
