§ Mr. Llew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many representations his Department has made to overseas companies based in the European Union which have breached export embargoes on military equipment and weapons agreed by the European Union. [32877]
§ Mr. David DavisI have been asked to reply.
It is not our policy to make representations to overseas companies. If we were concerned at the activities of an overseas company an approach would be made to the Government of the country in which the company was based.
No such approaches have been made.
