CONFIDENTIAL. meeting with the International Committee of the .TUG today, I also ; mentioned to Jack Jones the possibility of union action against the Stansted trade. He did not think there was much prospect o£ achieving this, particularly as he suspected that the trada would ' merely go to other%countries, j 6. As far as the Crown Agents are concerned, I recognise that they aro probably under legal obligation to supply the 38 vehicles which have been delivered to them. But I do not believe that they can confinua to supply equipmsarfe-to the Ugandan armed forces or police. Nor do I think that the Crown Agents should'need to be directed by Ministers before coming to this conclusion themselves. They should decide that they will in future be unable to handle such orders. No i " . . . announcement need be made and, if I or Judith. Hart are asked questions in Parliament, wa pah say that tfa understand that die Crown Agents have taken no fiirther orders for such equipment, without revealing that a policy decision has been taken. The Ugandan i authorities are likely to try to circumvent any such restriction by ordering equipment for their military through Departments other ' -i • • I than, their own Ministry of Defence. But I believe that tha Crown Agents will just have to be sensitive and sensible in their approach * * * and, if items such as medical supplies do get through to tha armed • • • " % > • * { . forces, no great harm wi11^have been done. : •---—1
