Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, whether her Department received notification of any arms export requests from the Government of Gabon in the last year; and whether any of those licences have been granted to that country.

For the last reportable year of licensing statistics, which is 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022, we did receive export licence applications for military goods for the Government of Gabon. However, in the same period, no export licences were granted for military goods for the Government of Gabon.
