Saudi Arabia: BAE Systems
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will publish the Al Yamamah memorandum of agreement between the UK and Saudi Arabia.
- Answer
-
The arrangements within the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Governments of the United Kingdom and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in February 1986, which continue to govern the supply of military equipment and support to the Saudi Arabian Armed Forces, are confidential to the two Governments. I am therefore withholding the document as its disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice relations between the United Kingdom and another State.
