The analysis gives details of numbers of licences issued or refused, by country of destination and by category of goods as classified in the Export of Goods (Control) Order 1994 and the Dual-Use and Related Goods (Export Control) Regulations 1995. The most recent analysis covered the first half of 1996. An analysis covering the second half of the year will be placed in the Library of the House in early 1997.
