Proceeding contribution from Mike Hancock (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 November 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Arms Export Controls.
Arms Export Controls
Has the hon. Gentleman ever heard a conclusive argument against having a register of arms brokers, and is it not interesting that in Ukraine, members of the Rada were unaware that they had a register? I remember questioning them when the Defence Committee was in Ukraine, and they were unaware that there was a register in Ukraine. I have yet to hear a substantial argument that says that there are good reasons not to have a register. Administrative costs or the bother of administering a register cannot be the only reason.
