Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, how many UK arms export licenses have been granted to Indonesia in each of the last five years.
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:
| India | Indonesia | Saudi Arabia |
2013 | 626 | 173 | 148 |
2014 | 570 | 154 | 148 |
2015 | 615 | 180 | 194 |
2016 | 619 | 190 | 119 |
Q1-Q3 2017 | 469 | 172 | 134 |
