ILLEGAL torture weapons are being promoted at an arms fair being held in London, according to the Green Party's Caroline Lucas.
Lucas said the French company MagForce International and the Chinese company Tianjin MyWay International Trading are promoting the weapons at the DSEI arms fair in London's Docklands.
The Brighton Pavilion MP said it was not the first time illegal weapons have been found at the arms fair, being held at the ExCeL centre, and called on ministers to urgently make a statement about how it was allowed to happen.
"I have evidence here that French company MagForce International and Chinese company Tianjin MyWay international trading have been promoting illegal weapons of torture at the DSEI arms fair being held in London Docklands this week," Lucas told Britain's House of Commons.
"Can you advise me what to do to get this information to BIS (Business, Innovation and Skills) ministers as fast as possible to get them urgently to make a statement in this House about how this can have happened, especially since it is not the first time that illegal weapons have been found at DSEI?"Speaker John Bercow confirmed that Lucas had taken the speediest action possible.
"You have found your own salvation," he replied.
"The Treasury bench will have heard what you have to say, it will be a matter only I'm sure of seconds before your remarks wing their way towards the Business Secretary (Vince Cable).
"I may simply say it is then for him to decide how to respond. It is not a matter of order for the chair but you are well aware of the opportunities that you have to call ministers to account and I feel sure that you will deploy the weapons at your disposal."
The DSEI arms fair began on Tuesday and will end on September 13.
