Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 November 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Arms Export Controls.


Arms Export Controls

I want to draw a link between two parts of the hon. Gentleman's speech that he has not linked. Is he aware of a report in The Guardian, the substance of which is that arms were exported from Ukraine to Guinea, which has an international embargo on it? I am not in any way suggesting that UK arms exporters were involved in that, but the importance of what the hon. Gentleman is saying about preventing arms from being re-exported to countries where an embargo is in place is surely re-emphasised by that story?
