HC Deb 02 May 2000 vol 349 c25W
Mr. Berry

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what changes have been made in the last three years to the guidelines on end-use assurance required for companies and individuals applying for single individual export licences for strategic goods. [120205]

Dr. Howells

There have been some amendments made to the guidelines on end-use assurance in the last three years with regard to information requirements for certain chemicals listed in Schedules to the Chemical Weapons Convention. Other changes have been ones of format rather than substance.

Mr. Berry

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if Export Control Organisation guidelines detailing end-use assurance required for export licence applications apply to open individual export licences for strategic goods. [120203]

Dr. Howells

The end-use assurance requirements for an open individual export licence are included in the conditions of such a licence. Guidance is provided for compliance with these conditions.
