Further information on certain licensing
decisions detailed in the Government's Second Report on Strategic
Export Controls
The Committee requested certain further information
about various licensing decisions between 1 January and 31 December
1999, as set out in the Government's 1999 Annual Report on Strategic
Export Controls, published on 21 July 2000.
2 The decisions on which further information
has been requested are summarised in Annexes A to C to this memorandum,
and in the confidential annex at Annex E.
3 Regrettably, a small number of errors
have been identified in Part II of the Report. We are always looking
for ways to minimise the risk of such errors occurring in the
future, and are pleased that the number of errors seems to be
decreasing in successive years. However, as was noted in the Report,
human error cannot be eliminated altogether in the compilation
of such a large body of data. Details are given at Annex D.

1999 to refuse or uphold an appeal against a decision to refuse
an application or revoke a licence
