Clause 3 - Purposes of orders under section 1(1) or 2(1)
Export Control Bill
12:15 pm
Mr Richard Page (South West Hertfordshire, Conservative)
Before the hon. Member for Twickenham responds, will the Minister explain how the operational details for the handling of export licences would fit into the framework? Concern has been expressed about the delay in dealing with export licence applications. The target times have been exceeded. How will the two aspects of the matter fit together? Following an application for a licence, how far would the resolutions that the Minister has outlined cover the process, and how much of it would be a matter of the Department's ordinary handling of the timetable?
