Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much defence equipment has been (a) sold and (b) gifted to Lebanon in the last five years.

No defence equipment has been sold to Lebanon by the Ministry of Defence through the Defence Equipment Sales Authority in the last five years. A range of items including spares, communications and IT equipment, have however been gifted to Lebanon through the UK Conflict Security and Stability fund.

In addition, a total of 100 Revised Weapons Mounted Installation Kit Land Rovers were gifted to the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) in 2021. The donation of these vehicles demonstrates the UK's commitment to supporting the LAF and promoting security and stability in the region.
