Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 March 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Arms Export Controls.


Arms Export Controls

The hon. Gentleman is being generous with his time and is giving a clear and erudite account of his report. Does he agree that monitoring is best done by those with specialist knowledge, and that it is therefore regrettable that cuts in the number of military attachés are taking place around the world? Does he not also think that military attachés ought to have a more formal role not only in monitoring but in commenting on whether an arms licence should be given for a particular piece of equipment?
