Written Question

Fuels: Israel

Tuesday 21st May 2024

Asked by: Richard Thomson (Scottish National Party - Gordon)

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what information her Department holds on the (a) types of fuel and (b) amount of jet fuel that has been exported to Israel for military purposes since 7 October 2023.

Answered by Alan Mak

DBT publishes data on export licences for controlled goods on a quarterly basis, including data on end user destination, value, type (e.g. military, other) and a summary of the items covered by these licences.

However, DBT has no record of any current export licences for Israel for aircraft fuels formulated for military purposes.

There are no UK exports of any jet fuel to Israel from October 2023 to March 2024 (the latest data available) according to HMRC’s Overseas Trade in Goods Statistics.
