Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if her Department will publish an assessment of whether UK-produced military goods components have been used in military activity in the (a) Israel-Hamas conflict and (b) West Bank since 7 October 2023.

The government continues to monitor closely the situation in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

All export licence applications are assessed on a case-by-case basis against the Strategic Export Licensing Criteria. We will not issue an export licence to any destination where to do so would be inconsistent with the Criteria.

Licences are kept under careful and continual review as standard and we are able to amend, suspend or revoke extant licences, or refuse new licence applications, as circumstances require.

In the event such decisions were taken, for any licences, we would issue a Notification to Exporters.
