Proceeding contribution from Stephen Gilbert (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 13 October 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Middle East and North Africa.
Middle East and North Africa
May I turn the House's attention to today's written ministerial statement on the arms export regime? I welcome the tightening and strengthening of that regime, but there remain real concerns that British-made matériel is being used to suppress democratic movements, particularly in Bahrain. Will the Foreign Secretary publish the review and tell the House what more he is doing to stop British-made matériel being used to persecute people seeking democratic reform?
