Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Addington (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Wednesday, 3 March 2010.


Defence: Export of Military Components

Question
My Lords, I associate these Benches with the condolences read out by the Minister at the start of his Answer. Can the Minister assure us that priority is given to any components needed by an ally in active service, so that they will go through quickly, and that we ensure that if we require something for our Armed Forces or to be used by one of our NATO allies on active service, that that is done with the minimum possible bureaucratic activity, whether online or on paper?
Answer

I am very happy to give the noble Lord that assurance.
