Mr. Grogan

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what arrangements are in place to authorise the export of controlled dual-use goods by the United Kingdom Government. [62290]

Mrs. Roche

On 27 November, the Export Control Organisation of my Department issued an Open Licence which permits the export to any destination, subject to the conditions of the licence, all dual-use goods specified in any entry in Annexe I to Council Decision 94/942/CFSP or in Schedule 2 to the Dual-Use and Related Goods (Export Control) Regulations, where the export is by the Crown. A copy of the licence has been placed in the Library of the House.
