HL Deb 30 October 1997 vol 582 cc263-4WA
Lord Peston

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether there have been any new exceptions to the arms embargo on Argentina.

Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean

The Government have recently approved the export of a single sporting rifle to Argentina following its repair by the original manufacturer in the UK. This is an exception, but not a change, to the embargo.
