§ Mr. McAvoyTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what was the total value of the licences granted for the export of arms manufactured in the United Kingdom to the former Yugoslavia, for each year between 1987 and 1991; and what is his policy on the granting of such licences currently. [27445]
§ Mr. OppenheimThe first part of this question could be answered only at disproportionate cost.
The UK has observed the UN arms embargo of former Yugoslavia with effect from 25 September 1991. The Government's current policy was set out in an answer given by my hon. Friend the Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office in response to a question from my hon. Friend the Member for Aylesbury, (Mr. Lidington), 31 January 1996, Official Report, column 766.
