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


Arms Export Controls

It would be a matter of some interest to establish when the decision on the restricted status was made and by whom. Did the Minister make it or was he acting under orders? We really need to be told.
