Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, if his Department will use negotiations with the EU to ensure that the UK retains influence over EU arms exports frameworks.

As part of the deep and special partnership the UK seeks with the EU, we want to continue to work closely with our European Partners, including on security, foreign and defence policy.

We want a partnership whereby we contribute to the security of Europe using our range of defence and security capabilities, our networks and influence, our policy expertise and through information sharing.
