Embargo Regulations

To: Consarc Engineering

FM: Department of Trade and Industry

From: DJ Hall, Assistant Secretary

For: JG WILSON

  1. I have to inform you that I have today amended the export of goods (control) order 1981 to prohibit the export without a license from the Secretary of State of certain vacuum furnaces and isostatic presses, and parts and components for them.
  2. The effect of this is to prohibit the export by your company of the equipment not yet shipped which you contracted to supply to the Soviet Union in 1983. Breach of the order is of course an offense.
  3. The department recognizes that this order will put your company in some difficulty. I understand that the contract is the subject of ECGD cover, including cover against the imposition of export licensing controls. You will no doubt wish to pursue the matter with ECGD.
  4. The full text of the order is in my following Telex
