HL Deb 01 December 1998 vol 595 c26WA
Lord Ponsonby of Shulbrede

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What were the results of the public consultation following publication of the White Paper on Strategic Export Controls. [HL93]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Trade and Industry (Lord Sainsbury of Turville)

The department has received 54 responses to the White Paper on Strategic Export Controls. I am placing copies of the responses, except two for which complete confidentiality has been requested, in the Libraries of both Houses and in the Library of the Department. I have also arranged for copies of the responses to be made available on request from the Department's Export Control Organisation.

We are currently reviewing our proposals in the light of the responses received, and will make a further announcement in due course.
