HC Deb 09 June 2000 vol 351 c411W
Dr. Harris

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development how much each heavily indebted poor country has spent on arms exported from the UK in each of the last three years. [118333]

Clare Short

I refer the hon. Member to Part III of the Government's 1997 and 1998 Annual Reports on Strategic Arms Control. Part III lists numbers and values of UK exports of military equipment by country where this information is available. Information on exports of military equipment during 1999 will be included in the 1999 Annual Report which will be published in due course. The hon. Member should also refer to the accompanying text and explanatory note to the table in Part III which details the sources of the information used and the extent of the coverage of that information.

Forward to
