Select Committee on International Development Appendices to the Minutes of Evidence


APPENDIX 11

Memorandum submitted by NP Aerospace Ltd.

  I refer to the Contract we won from Indonesia for *** Vehicles for which our request for an Export Licence was rejected and following many months of delay our appeal was also rejected.

  The delay caused considerable embarrassment to Courtaulds/NP Aerospace Ltd. and significant costs were incurred maintaining the capability to fulfil Contract.

  From a manufacturer's standpoint it is of vital importance that Export Licences and any Process of Appeal are dealt with promptly: it is quite unacceptable to have to wait approximately six months for a reply to an appeal!
