Sir John Stanley, the Chairman of the Committees on Arms Export Controls, has written another letter today to the Business Secretary, Dr Vince Cable.

The letter asks four further questions about Government approval of 5 additional export licences for the export to Syria of sodium fluoride, which can be used as a precursor chemical for chemical weapons including sarin, between 2004 and 2010.
