Export Control Organisation

Answer

My Lords, I thank the right reverend Prelate for that very helpful comment. I am sure noble Lords will appreciate that I cannot say what decision has been taken. I cannot defend it, nor can I say that I shall take account of the views of the House, because we have already made a decision. Other than that, I shall try to be as helpful as I can.
