Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what recent assessment she has made of the impact of Government legal advice on the sales of arms to Israel on export licensing decisions.

We are monitoring the situation in Israel and Gaza very closely. All licences are kept under careful and continual review and we are able to amend, suspend, refuse or revoke licences as circumstances require. The Secretary of State for Business and Trade receives legal advice as appropriate

We do not comment on legal advice in accordance with longstanding convention.
