Written Question
RCV Engines: Export Controls
Monday 28th February 2022

Asked by: Christopher Chope (Conservative - Christchurch)

Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, when a decision will be given on the licence application to The Export Control Joint Unit dated 8 November 2021 from RCV Engines Limited; and for what reason the target of concluding 99 per cent of applications within 60 working days, set out in her letter of 18 February 2022 to the hon Member for Christchurch, has not been met in this case.

Answered by Ranil Jayawardena

A decision on the application will be given as soon as the cross-government assessment has concluded. Maintaining our robust export control regime means that assessing applications for some destinations is more challenging and will take longer than our target times to assess.
