Trade Agreements: Israel
(asked on 21st September 2022) - View Source
Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, whether the intended contents of the UK-Israel Free Trade Agreement include provisions for arms trade.
This question was answered on 27th September 2022
No. Defence matters are outside the scope of all UK Free Trade Agreements (FTA).
The Government takes its arms export responsibilities very seriously and aims to operate one of the most robust arms export control regimes in the world. An FTA with Israel will not impact on export controls in relation to arms exports.
