Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many fines were issued by HMRC for breaches of the arms export controls in 2022; and what the total value was of those fines.

HMRC’s enforcement outcomes will be published in the UK Strategic Export Controls Annual Report 2022. This will be available on the GOV.UK. website. This will include collated Compound Settlement details for this period.

HMRC publicises details of Compound settlements throughout the year. These details are released through Department for International Trade Notices to Exporters.

The details for each of those settlements are within each of the following links:
