HC Deb 27 March 1995 vol 257 cc406-7W
Mr. Mackinlay

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what prohibitions exist for companies that wish to export products containing lindane, gamma HCH, or gamma BHC to(a) Switzerland, (b) Germany and (c) the United States of America; and if he will make a statement. [15513]

Mr. Ian Taylor

Products containing lindane, gamma HCH or gamma BHC require an export licence, under the Export of Goods (Control) Order 1994, only if the exporter knows or suspects that the goods might be used for purposes connected with weapons of mass destruction. If an export licence is required, it will be required for any destination including Switzerland, Germany or the United States of America.
