Mr. Hardy
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many cases of breach or suspected breach of sanctions in regard to trade with Iraq have now ben received by the United Nations or brought to the knowledge of Her Majesty's Government.
Mr. Douglas Hogg
We follow up reported sanctions breaches both bilaterally and at the UN: these are treated confidentially and no figures on the numbers of suspected or actual cases of sanctions breaches are publicly available. Any cases of sanctions breaches by United Kingdom nationals and companies are a matter for the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry and the Commissioners of Her Majesty's Customs and Excise.
