Lynne's Parliament and Haringey Diary, established 2003
Better controls on the arms trade
Last 
week I was lobbied by a trio of constituents – Stephanie Bell, Candida Barbato and Gerardo Paez – about the forthcoming review of the UK Export Control Act (ECA).
This is about how the UK regulates arms exports – and so is an important issue in my area of international development as progress is tragically so often set back by war and conflict. That’s why I want to see the review result in the closing of the current loopholes in the law.
