HC Deb 06 April 2000 vol 347 c564W
Mr. Austin

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what reports he has received concerning the use of arms in the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo supplied to the Governments of(a) Uganda and (b) Zimbabwe from UK sources; and if he will make a statement. [117958]

Mr. Hain

We have received no reports of British equipment previously supplied to the Ugandan Government being used by their forces in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). We understand that two Hawk jets supplied from the UK to the Zimbabwe airforce are deployed in the DRC from time to time, though we have no details.
