§ Mr. ByersTo ask the President of the Board of Trade, pursuant to his answer of 28 June,Official Report, column 671, on what date in April information was first sent to HM Customs and Excise, and on what date in June the final information was sent concerning BMARC export licences. [32527]
§ Mr. Nelson[holding answer 4 July 1995]: I am afraid that the answer given by the Under-Secretary of State for Trade and Technology on 28 June should have read early April, rather than late April. The first occasion this year on which my Department provided information to HM Customs in connection with BMARC was on or soon after 3 April. The first occasion prior to the statement by my right hon. Friend the former President of the Board of Trade was on 7 June.
