§ Mr. YeoTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if she will list the licences agreed by her Department since 2 May 1997 for the export of material to(a) Iran and (b) India, stating for each licence (i) what it was for and (ii) what checks were made to establish whether it could be used for arms production. [74393]
§ Ms HewittLeaving aside concerns over confidentiality, it would entail disproportionate cost to provide details of all export licences issued to Iran and India since 2 May 1997, together with information on what the proposed export was for and what checks were made to establish whether it could be used for arms production.
Details of all export licences issued are published by destination in the Government's Annual Reports on Strategic Export Controls. Copies of the 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001 Annual Reports are available from the Libraries of the House.
