HC Deb 17 July 2003 vol 409 c478W
Mr. Llwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list the(a) arms, (b) armaments and (c) military equipment sold by the UK Government in the last three years, with their destination. [123416]

Mr. Ingram

Individual disposals of defence property requested amount to many hundreds of sites. I will write to the hon. Member once the information has been collated and place a copy of my letter in the Library of the House.

Details of the disposal of all surplus armaments and other military equipment as requested would consist of tens of thousands of individual transactions and could only be provided a disproportionate cost. Licences issued for surplus major equipment exported on a Governments-Government basis are listed in the Strategic Export Controls Annual Reports, which are available in the Vote office and on the FCO website at www.fco.gov.uk.
