(asked on 23rd October 2018) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the level of risk of UK weapons being used by Saudi Arabia in Yemen in military action deemed illegal under international law.
This question was answered on 29th October 2018
Our arms export licensing regime is one of the most rigorous in the world.
The key test for our arms exports to Saudi Arabia in relation to international humanitarian law (IHL) is whether there is a clear risk that those items subject to the licence might be used in a serious violation of IHL. The situation is kept under careful and continual review.
