Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, with reference to the response of 24 May 2018 to freedom of information request number FOI2018/00517, whether the arms export licence referred to in that response remains extant; and whether her Department continues to issue arms export licences for the sale of Paveway bombs to (a) Saudi Arabia and (b) its coalition allies.

The licences referred to in FOI2018/00517 have all expired.

Since the Court of Appeal’s judgment of 20 June 2019, new licences for exports to Saudi Arabia and other coalition partners for items which might be used in the conflict in Yemen, including Paveway bombs have been halted.
