The following letter by Christine Wilson was published in the EDP on 1 March 2011:

During the events of the last weeks in North African and Middle Eastern countries there have been several references to the arms trade including David Cameron's

Libya, Algeria and Saudi Arabia are among 'priority target' countries for UK arms exports and Britain makes high level political interventions in ensuring that these countries buy from us.

More reports today about Cameron saying that arms sales are important in the push for growth.
