The Democratic Alliance today said the Arms Deal committee has failed to table its 2013 annual report in Parliament which was meant to be tabled at the end of March. 

DA MP of Defence and Military Veterans David Maynier said the report would have contained detailed information about the type description and quantity of the arms sale. 

“I will therefore, be writing to chairperson of the National Convention Arms Control committee Jeff Radebe to ask why the report was not tabled in Parliament and when will it be submitted and tabled in Parliament,” Maynier

He concluded by saying that If the Annual report is not tabled in Parliament then it will not be possible for Parliament to hold the National Conventional Arms Control accountable for the decision it is made in the state of exporting conventional arms from South Africa.
