Zirconium Silicate (Iran)
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry which UK agencies are investigating the circumstances relating to the interception by the Bulgarian authorities at the beginning of September of a truck travelling from the UK to Iran, containing zirconium silicate; and whether these investigations are (a) separate from and (b) in conjunction with investigations by the Bulgarian authorities; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
[holding answer 6 December 2005]: Investigation of alleged breaches of UK export controls are the responsibility of HM Revenue and Customs. However I believe the goods in question were not controlled under UK export controls and did not therefore require an export licence.
