HC Deb 21 June 1995 vol 262 c302W
Mr. Keith Hill

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what types of lethal military equipment the United Kingdom has supplied to Nigeria's United Nations contingents, to which contingents, and when. [29845]

Mr. David Davis

Although the measures adopted by the EU in December 1993 leave open the possibility of exporting to Nigeria equipment for peacekeeping use, it has been the practice of successive Governments not to reveal details of export licences or applications for licences unless the requirements of confidentiality are outweighed by the public interest.
