To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many revocations of arms export licences to Israel there were in each month since January 2000; in what categories they were; and if she will make a statement.

During the same period no Standard Individual Export Licences, for items on the Military List, were revoked where the end user was in Israel. In addition, Israel has been removed from the coverage of one Open General Export Licence, for items on the Military List, details of which are available from the Libraries of the House.
Since the publication of the 2001 Annual Report on Strategic Export Controls it has come to light that two OIELs for items on the Military List, which were revoked or whose coverage was amended by the exclusion of Israel, were inadvertently omitted from the Report.
