Proceeding contribution from Roger Berry (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 November 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Arms Export Controls.

Arms Export Controls

I accept that being able to take legal action is the first-best solution, but would the Government not be left with a second-best solution, which is that, if it is clearly understood that if the Polish company that is getting the arms export re-exports to an embargoed destination, no further licences would in future would be granted by the UK where that company is the initial end user? Is that not straightforward?
