Mrs. Roche

With regard to the numbers of applications refused or licences granted for the export to Indonesia of goods controlled under Part III of Schedule 1 to the Export of Goods (Control) Order 1994, I refer the hon. Member to the answer given by my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade to the hon. Member for West Dorset (Mr. Letwin) on 2 December 1997,Official Report, columns 124–26.

Between 2 May and 13 November no such licences were revoked.

However, this information should be considered in light of my answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Don Valley (Caroline Flint) on 30 October 1997, Official Report, columns 256–58.
