Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Kemi Badenoch and Edward Leigh

Thursday 30th November 2023 Commons Chamber

[Kemi Badenoch]

I believe there is a quarterly register that may contain some of the information the hon. and learned Member is asking for, but I am not able or going to list every single export decision that has been made by the export control joint unit. I will see what I can do to get her a fuller answer, but she will know that this is a very sensitive issue. I have a quasi-judicial role, and I must be seen to be impartial at all times. I will do what I can to provide the information she wants, but I do not have a list to provide her with this morning, and certainly not on the Floor of the House.

[Sir Edward Leigh (Gainsborough) (Con)]
