The Sunday Mail says UK firms [exported] sodium fluoride [which is used in the manufacture of sarin gas] to a Syrian cosmetics firm throughout the six years [between July 2004 and May 2010] for what they claim were legitimate purposes. The daily quotes British MPs admitting for the first time that the chemical was delivered to Syria which has been condemned as a ‘grossly irresponsible’ move and a clear violation of international protocol on the trade of dangerous substances.
British MPs signaled their extreme displeasure with the shocking revelations.
"These are very disturbing revelations uncovered by The Mail on Sunday regarding the provision of sodium fluoride to Syria. At no time should we have allowed President Assad’s regime to get its hands on this substance,” Thomas Docherty MP, a member of the Commons Arms Export Controls Committee, said on Saturday.
“Previously we thought that while export licenses had been granted, no chemicals were actually delivered. Now we know that in the build-up to the Syrian civil war, UK companies – with the backing of our Government – were supplying this potentially lethal substance,” he added.

” We thought that while export licenses had been granted, no chemicals were actually delivered.”
I wonder. Why do you issue a license to export if not to actually export?
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
