AB The controversy over the case of the Iraqui "Supergun" project, and over the possible role of British firms in supplying parts for its construction, was major news in 1990, and again in the year and a half following the Gulf War. It led to considerable new coverage, and to an investigation by a Department of Trade and Industry committee into the conduct of industrial firms, and of the officials who monitor arms-related exports. While many have concluded that the supergun affair primarily reflected administrative overload or incompetence, and while the official investigation took a narrow view of the major issues involved, closer scrutiny shows complex dealings among governments, businesses, and well-connected individuals. A full understanding of the supergun affair is only now beginning to emerge.
