Lord Phillips of Sudbury Excerpts

Monday 28th November 2011 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Wilcox]

I think that the answer is yes, it does—I am sure that it does. I will check to make absolutely sure, as I am sure that the noble Lord will ask me about this again otherwise. I will return to this with the information that he has asked for, if I may.

[Lord Phillips of Sudbury]

May I ask my noble friend what approach the Government adopt towards the export or re-export of arms or software to the Israeli army for potential use in Palestine?

[Baroness Wilcox]

The same rules apply as to any other country.
