Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what export licences remain in force for all non-police, non-military, and non-correctional agencies identified as end users for strategic arms exports to the US.

All export licence applications are assessed on a case-by-case basis against the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria (‘Consolidated Criteria’). In line with the Consolidated Criteria, my Department is able to review licences – and suspend or revoke as necessary – when circumstances require.

HM Government publishes Official Statistics (on a quarterly and annual basis) about ex-port licences granted, refused and revoked to all destinations on GOV.UK. These reports contain detailed information on export licences issued, refused or revoked, by destina-tion, including the overall value, type (e.g. Military, Other) and a summary of the items covered by these licences. These can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/strategic-export-controls-licensing-data.

The data currently provides details of licences up to 31st December 2019. Information about the period 1st January to 31st March 2020 will be published in July 2020 and data covering the period 1st April to 30th September 2020 will be published in October 2020.

A list of all entities as requested, and the requested information on military-rated extant licences for the end users detailed, can only be provided at disproportionate cost. Furthermore, such information may be commercially sensitive.
