HC Deb 05 May 2004 vol 420 c1607W
Sir Menzies Campbell

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list the countries to which Iraqi oil has been sold, stating the volume in each case; and if he will make a statement. [169156]

Mr. Straw

The Iraqi State Oil Marketing Organisation (SOMO) is the body responsible for the sale of Iraqi oil on the international market. Information on the countries to which Iraqi oil has been sold since April 2003 and the volume in each case has not been published by the SOMO and is not in the public domain.

Information on the countries to which Iraqi oil was sold before April 2003 under the Oil for Food programme is available on the US Department of Energy—Energy Information Administration website at http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/ipsr/t417.xls.
