Committees on Arms ExportsLetter from the Chair of the Committees to the Rt Hon Vince Cable MP, Secretary of State, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills

William Hague has advised me that the “UK Trade & Investment Defence & Security Organisation (UKTI DSO) has not published a list of priority markets for 2011–12, as this is under review, but plans to do so later in the year”.

I should be grateful if UKTI DSO’s list of priority markets for 2011–12 could be made available to the Committees on Arms Export Controls immediately it is published. It would be helpful to the Committees if this could be before our next Oral Evidence session on 12 December, and most certainly before William Hague and you give evidence to the Committees on 7 February.
