HC Deb 16 March 1998 vol 308 c469W
Mr. Levitt

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment his Department has made of the quantity of arms exported to Iraq since the Gulf War originating(a) in the United Kingdom and (b) elsewhere. [34344]

Mr. Tony Lloyd

The UK has complied with the UN arms embargo since it was imposed on Iraq in 1990 under United Nations Security Council Resolution 661. While we would expect other countries to abide by the embargo, we cannot comment on any supplies that may have reached Iraq from elsewhere.
