§ Mr. KeyTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what guidance his Department has given to higher education establishments on the implementation of the Export Control Act 2002; and if he will make a statement. [163676]
§ Nigel GriffithsI have been asked to reply.
Detailed user guidance for those operating under the new controls was published in November 2003. This guidance included an explanation of what these controls mean in practice for academia. Officials from the DTI's Export Control Organisation have been working with representatives of academia to help their members become aware of, understand and operate the new controls.
