Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 March 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Quadripartite Committee Reports.


Quadripartite Committee Reports

: When the Minister answers that question, will he also reply to my point about the future of DESO? It is not only inconsistent, but illogical and immoral, that an arm of the Government is working in parallel, and indeed in conflict, with the ECO, not least because it need have no regard to whether there are continuing conflicts, human rights abuses or pressing development needs in certain countries—its only objective is to maximise profits for arms companies. Is that not a disgrace? Should it not be shut down?
