Yes my hon. Friend the Minister for Africa wrote last December to Dr. Ibn Chambas, Executive Secretary of the Economic Community of West African States, to explain the Government's policy on extra-territorial controls.

The Minister discussed the issue again when he saw Dr. Chambas in New York this February.
