Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, pursuant to the Answer of 13 January 2022 to Question 100568 on Arms Trade: Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates, whether she expects to issue more standard individual exports licences as a result of recent changes to the arms export system.
It is not possible to predict the future number or value of applications for particular countries, as this is determined by industry submitting export licence applications, which will then be assessed on a case-by-case basis against our robust Strategic Export Licensing Criteria.
