Under Criterion 7, we would not grant an export licence, or gift equipment, if there was an unacceptable risk that the items would be diverted within the destination country or re-exported under undesirable conditions.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 12/09/2017 16:46:30 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
