ARMS SALES TO INDONESIA (No. 2)
That this House notes that Indonesia continues its aggressive and illegal occupation of East Timor in defiance of 10 UN resolutions; that plans are in train for the sale of Scorpion tanks, as well as 16 additional Hawk aircraft, by United Kingdom manufacturers to Indonesia; that Scorpion tanks could well be used by the Indonesian authorities against the Timorese resistance and against peaceful demonstrations elsewhere; that the United Kingdom will soon become Indonesia's foremost arms supplier; and calls upon the British Government to desist from its current policy in this regard and specifically not to issue a licence to Alvis for the export of Scorpion tanks to Indonesia.
