HC Deb 01 November 1995 vol 265 cc354-5W
Mrs. Clwyd

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if the practice of successive administrations not to disclose details of export licences has precluded providing information on the country of origin and destination of goods which are the subject of trans-shipment licences on every occasion that applications for such information has been made over the last five years. [40376]

Mr. Oppenheim

[holding answer 30 October 1995]: To ascertain whether the practice has precluded provision of such information over the last five years would involve disproportionate cost. In the event of any such requests, I would expect these details to have been refused in line with the practice of successive Administrations.
