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

If it were a condition of every licence for export from the UK that the initial end user could not re-export to an embargoed destination, and if the UK found out subsequently that there had been re-export to an embargoed destination, surely it could take the appropriate action. Legal action would be preferable, but the other action would simply be that the re-exporter would not get an arms export licence in future. Surely it is that simple.
