Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, pursuant to the Answer of 29 January 2018 to Question 124725, what vetting his Department conducts on entities that export strategic goods.
This question was answered on 8th February 2018
The Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria focus on the end use of the proposed export, taking into account a wide range of factors. Routine vetting procedures therefore relate to end users rather than applicants.
