HC Deb 07 April 1998 vol 310 c198W
16. Mr. David Heath

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will publish his revised proposals for an EU code of conduct on arms sales. [36548]

Mr. Tony Lloyd

We are engaged in negotiations with EU partners on a draft text. Holding these discussions in public would not improve our chances of reaching agreement on an effective Code. We will of course publish the Code once it has been adopted.
