F-35 Aircraft: Israel
Asked by: Richard Burgon (Labour - Leeds East) Tuesday 16th September 2025 Question to the Department for Business and Trade: To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, pursuant to the Answer of 26 June 2025 to Question 61511 on F-35 Aircraft: Israel, whether his Department holds a list of military exports transiting the UK that do not require a licence; and whether the decision on whether a license is needed is made by the ECJU or another body. Answered by Chris Bryant - Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade) Military exports transiting the UK do not require a licence if they comply with certain handling conditions, do not include specific goods and are not bound for specific destinations, as set out in Article 17 of the Export Control Order 2008. Consequently, the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) does not hold any information on these transhipments. DBT receives advice from multiple government departments when assessing whether exports require a licence, and in reviewing export licence applications. DBT is the decision-making authority and has ultimate responsibility for all export licensing decisions. |

Israel: Arms Trade
Asked by: Richard Burgon (Labour - Leeds East) Wednesday 17th September 2025 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 9 June 2025 to Question 56288 on Arms Trade: Israel, if he will now publish the Research Report: Long-Range Shootings or Shootings of Minors that was included in evidence in Al-Haq v Secretary of State for Business and Trade. Answered by Hamish Falconer - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) In line with the long-standing practice under successive governments, we do not routinely publish the detailed analysis on which assessments of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) compliance are based. |

F-35 Aircraft: Israel
Asked by: Richard Burgon (Labour - Leeds East) Tuesday 23rd September 2025 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 26 June 2025 to Question 61511 on F-35 Aircraft: Israel, what information his Department holds on the re-export of UK-made F-35 components from Israeli suppliers to the global F-35 programme. Answered by Luke Pollard - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence) We are clear that Israel must stop its military operations in Gaza and immediately lift restrictions on humanitarian aid entering Gaza.
We have suspended export licences to Israel that could be used in military operations in Gaza.
The UK is the only producer of certain critical components, not least for the F35 global spares pool. Suspending the UK’s contribution to the F-35programme would have serious implications for NATO and international peace and security.

Gaza: Humanitarian Aid
Asked by: Richard Burgon (Labour - Leeds East) Friday 3rd October 2025 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment she has made of the potential impact on (a) disabled and (b) older people in Gaza of (i) delays in, (ii) obstructions of and (iii) the suspension of the delivery of humanitarian aid; and what contingency plans her Department has to respond to such scenarios. Answered by Hamish Falconer - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) Marginalised groups such as people with disabilities and the elderly are disproportionately impacted by long standing conflicts including the war in Gaza, and by humanitarian provision which only allows those able to carry aid over long distances to secure food. We continue to work, alongside regional partners, including Egypt and Jordan, to enable the UN and non-governmental organisations to ensure aid reaches all those in Gaza, and we continue to urge the Israeli authorities to allow the unrestricted flow of humanitarian aid to alleviate the suffering of older people, and others. |

We continue to work, alongside regional partners, including Egypt and Jordan, to enable the UN and non-governmental organisations to ensure aid reaches all those in Gaza, and we continue to urge the Israeli authorities to allow the unrestricted flow of humanitarian aid to alleviate the suffering of older people, and others. |
