HC Deb 08 September 2003 vol 410 cc72-4W
Mr. Menzies Campbell

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if she will list the export licences on the Military and Dual Lists granted to companies in the UK or to a(a) UK registered company and (b) overseas national which have been (i) varied and (ii) revoked in each year since 1997; and if she will make a statement. [125666]

Nigel Griffiths

The details of export licences that have been revoked are published in the Government's Annual Reports on Strategic Export Controls, copies of which are the available from the Libraries of the House. The Annual Report also contains details of Open Individual Export Licences that have been varied so as to exclude a particular destination.

Variations to licences may be made for a number of reasons and it would entail disproportionate cost to list all export licences that have been varied since 2 May 1997.

The Department of Trade and Industry's Export Control Organisation does not record the nationality of applicants for an export licence.

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what vehicle models are specified in the open licence for the export to Indonesia of armoured all wheel drive vehicles; what the terms are of the licence; and for what reason an open licence was granted. [127043]
