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

The Chairman, the hon. Member for Kingswood, made a very interesting point at the beginning of the debate about arms being re-exported to countries that are under an arms embargo—it could be an EU, UN or area arms embargo. In considering the re-export issue, would it not be possible to insert in every single licence contract a provision that every possible effort should be made to prevent arms being re-exported to areas of the world where any type of embargo is in existence?
