Arms Export Controls

I am extremely grateful to the Minister. When have the Committees ever suggested such a thing? We never have. We have said that most of our exports, for example, go to NATO allies and others and we have no serious questions in that respect. There are a number of destinations, however, where rather more end-use monitoring than the Minister admits takes place would perhaps be helpful. Will he please not caricature the Committees' recommendations in that way? It is deeply offensive.
