Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of calls from civil society organisations for a UN-mandated comprehensive arms embargo on Myanmar.

The UK does not sell arms to Burma.

We judge there is currently​ insufficient support across the UN Security Council for a global arms embargo.

We continue to support the EU's retention of its arms embargo, which prohibits the supply of equipment or the provision of any training that might strengthen the Burmese military's combat capability.

The UK was instrumental in the renewal of the EU arms embargo earlier this year.
