by Symon Hill 27th April 2012

Two candidates for mayor of London have promised to prevent the London arms fair taking place again if they are elected.  Labour’s Ken Livingstone and the Green Party’s Jenny Jones said last week that they would use their mayoral powers to block the biennial event, known formally as Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEi). It is next due to be held in September 2013.
