HC Deb 05 June 1997 vol 295 cc236-7W
27. Dr. Lynne Jones

To ask the President of the Board of Trade when her Department proposes to publish the results of the consultation on strategic export controls of October 1996; and if she will make a statement. [682]

Mrs. Beckett

Copies of the responses to the consultation (with the exception of two for which confidentiality was requested) were placed in the libraries of both Houses in February of this year. Copies of these responses were also placed at that time in the library of my Department where members of the public could arrange to see them. In addition, I have now arranged for copies to be made available on request from my Department's Export Control Organisation.

We are considering all the responses carefully in formulating our proposals which will be announced in due course.
