HC Deb 28 February 1996 vol 272 cc565-6W
Mr. Cousins

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what goods have been exported under the export licence for naval sonar equipment approved at an interdepartmental meeting on 28 June 1988. [16312]

Mr. Lang

The application approved at the IDC on 28 June 1988 was an arms working party application inquiring about the supply of 360 degree naval sonar to Iraq. The approval given to that application simply indicated that, should the company submit an export licence application, it was likely that it would be granted. It did not give the company authority to export these goods.

Forward to
