ARMS CONTROLS

Early day motion 688, tabled 4 May 2000 by Alan Meale (Labour). Signed by 59 members.

That this House notes that over four years have now passed since the publication of the Scott Report into the arms to Iraq affair; which highlighted serious flaws in the current system of arms export controls; and shares the concerns of organisations such as Amnesty International and Oxfam that as yet no legislation has been introduced to implement the Inquiry's recommendations.

Signatures by party: Labour 37, Liberal Democrat 13, Labour/Co-operative 5, Plaid Cymru 4.
