HC Deb 21 April 1999 vol 329 c566W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what measures he is taking to restrict exports of crowd recognition devices for identifying individuals at rallies to countries identified as having limited human rights. [81041]

Mr. Tony Lloyd

The Government do not control the export of crowd recognition devices for identifying individuals at rallies or other such events. If the hon. Member believes there is sufficient justification for the Government to consider the introduction of such a control, we would look at these arguments without prejudice to any decision.
