§ Ms BuckTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement about the export of two military rated trucks to the United Methodist Committee for Relief in Bosnia-Herzegovina. [130368]
§ Mr. VazThe Government have approved the export of two 4x4 wheel drive all purpose vehicles to the United Methodist Committee for Relief in Sarajevo. These goods are of ex-army stock and are rated on the Military List. The Committee needs the trucks to distribute relief to remote villages in the region. The Committee has substantially modified the trucks to curtail their military applications and has undertaken that the vehicles will be for their sole use.
This decision does not affect the Government's continued support for the EU Common Position on arms exports to Bosnia-Herzegovina.
