Arms Exports

Of course we are involved in export control, and we discussed that at the Quadripartite Committee. However, the decisions in this case were, appropriately, made in other sections of the Government, in which I do not lead.

However, there will no doubt be other opportunities to raise the matter in the House. Let me say something about the international arms trade treaty.
