Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, if he will list the countries to which the UK has authorised arms sales in the last five years.

Asked by:
Sir John Hayes (Conservative)

Answer

All export licences are issued in strict accordance with the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria.

The Government publishes Official Statistics (on a quarterly and annual basis) about export licences granted and refused for military exports on GOV.UK. These reports contain detailed information on export licences issued, refused or revoked, by destination, including the overall value, type (e.g. Military, Other) and a summary of the items covered by these licences. These can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/strategic-export-controls-licensing-data.

The data currently provides details of licences up to 30 June 2018. Information about the period 1 July to 30 September 2018 will be published shortly.
