All export licence applications are considered on a case-by-case basis against the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria, known as the Consolidated Criteria, based on the most up-to-date information and analysis available, including reports from NGOs and our overseas network.

The Government publishes Official Statistics (on a quarterly and annual basis) on export licences granted and refused on GOV.UK and can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/strategic-export-controls-licensing-data

Currently this includes information up to 30 September 2017. Information covering 1 October to 31 December 2017 will be published in April 2018. The data for 2017 is therefore only available for January – September 2017. The figures for licences granted for military exports are as follows:
