Proceeding contribution from Baroness Teather (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 27 March 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Strategic Export Controls.


Strategic Export Controls

I am listening to the hon. Gentleman with great interest. Does he agree with me that the consequence of not putting conventional weapons into category 2 might be that someone may trade in helicopters to a country such as Chad and then find that they are being used on the border with Sudan? Whether or not we introduce re-export clauses would be irrelevant because we would not need a licence for the trade in those particular weapons.
