We should maintain our consistent refusal to supply any lethal equipment to either side; Subject to that overriding consideration, we should attempt to fulfil existing contracts and obligations; We should not, in future, approve orders for any defence equipment which, in our view, would significantly enhance the capability of either side to prolong or exacerbate the conflict; In the line with this policy, we should continue to scrutinise rigorously all applications for export licences for the supply of defence equipment to Iran and Iraq.
