Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 May 2005. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Foreign Affairs and Defence.


Foreign Affairs and Defence

The hon. Gentleman is talking absolute nonsense. Is it not a fact that even before the European Union’s decision to lift the ban on exports to China was agreed or came into being, the United States had dragged its heels for the past three years over the international traffic in arms regulations waiver on the transfer of technology? To link the two is absolute nonsense.
