Arms Export Controls

The hon. Gentleman will recall that when giving evidence, the Minister referred us to ongoing discussions between non-governmental organisations and defence manufacturers about category B issues. On the subject of the possibility of a register of brokers, does the hon. Gentleman recall that we pressed Ministers for a conclusion to the work undertaken since 2007? I suggested that it was being farmed out into the long grass, and the Minister said that it was important not to make a hasty decision, of which I assured him he was in no danger.
