HC Deb 04 February 1997 vol 289 c526W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list the arms sales to Turkey assisted by the Defence Export Services Organisation in each of the last three years. [13936]

Mr. Arbuthnot

[holding answer 3 February 1997]: DESO facilitates contact between British industry and Turkish Government officials to help them promote their products and services. Comprehensive records are not kept of those export orders which result directly or indirectly from DESO involvement and such information could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
