Examination of Witnesses (Questions 200
- 201)
TUESDAY 20 APRIL 2004 (Morning)
CAMPAIGN AGAINST
THE ARMS
TRADE
Q200 Judy Mallaber: You think that
most of those additional actions could be covered by a change
in their current policy and practice, rather than changes to the
law.
Ms Feltham: Yes, and I think they
certainly seem to be moving in the right direction on this.
Q201 Judy Mallaber: How much extra
value do you think you would get from these extra actions. Are
there some that you regard as being particularly important amongst
those areas?
Ms Feltham: As has been said more
generally by Transparency International, there is the question
about what agents are up to. We do know that they have been heavily
involved in some of the arms deals, using agents. It is only information
that drips out, from the press usually, occasionally, and we would
like to see that really highlighted and looked at; but it does
seem to be being taken on board rather more now.
Chairman: Ms Feltham, we would be very
grateful for the additional memo. Thank you for your time this
morning.
