Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Industry, Trade and Regional Development – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 19 March 1964.
I thank the hon. Member for answering at the same time Question No. 41, which is quite low on the Order Paper. If it is not possible for him to give the detailed specifications of orders, can he give the number of licences which have been refused, in view of the Prime Minister's statement that arms which can be used to further apartheid will not be supplied? In view of the fact that £90 million is to be expended on military equipment to South Africa from this country over a three-year period, cannot the hon. Gentleman at least say how much has been refused in order to prevent any oppression under the policy of apartheid?
