Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, with reference to the 20 June 2019 Court of Appeal judgment on arms sales to Saudi Arabia, how many (a) standard individual export licences, (b) open individual and (c) open general export licences his Department is reviewing.

Further to the judgment of 20 June 2019, the Government is carefully considering the implications of the judgment for licensing, including extant licences. The Government is considering the design of the process for licensing to ensure compliance with the judgment, as well as determining which extant licences are in scope. While this is taking place, the Government will not grant any new licences for export to Saudi Arabia or its coalition partners for items that might be used in Yemen.
