HC Deb 06 December 1996 vol 286 cc827-8W
Mrs. Beckett

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will list the goods and services in respect of which licences for export to Libya were issued in each year since 1992. [2969]

Mr. Lang

[holding answer 7 November 1996]The export of licensable goods is regulated by both the Export of Goods (Control) Orders, the EC regulation on dual-use goods, and the associated Dual-Use and Related Goods (Export Control) Orders. These are supplemented in the case of Libya by the Libyan sanctions orders.

Table 1 lists, by legislation heading, the category of goods for which licences were issued, after full consideration under the EG(C)0 and dual-use goods regulations.

The Libyan sanctions orders additionally confer licensability to the supply of materials to airfields, technical advice or training to air or ground personnel, direct insurance for aircraft, oil pumping or refining equipment and an assets freeze against the Government or public authorities in Libya. The types of goods for which licences have been issued again after full consideration by my Department since 1992 are summarised in the list.
