HC Deb 05 May 1998 vol 311 c264W
Dr. Tonge

To ask the President of the Board of Trade how many licence applications for the export of goods covered by the category PL5001 have been denied since 1 May 1997 by category, and country of intended destination. [40017]

Mrs. Roche

The Export Control Organisation's computer databases have been interrogated and the following results were obtained. Between 2 May 1997 and 3 April 1998, one application for an individual licence covering the export of goods with the rating PL5001 was refused. This was an application for a Standard Individual Export Licence on which the consignee and end-user were both stated to be in Kenya.

This information should be considered in light of my answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Don Valley (Caroline Flint) on 30 October 1997, Official Report, columns 870–71.
