To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills when the most recent export licences were granted for components for (a) F-15 aircraft, (b) F-16 aircraft and (c) Apache helicopters (i) directly to Israel and (ii) to the US for incorporation with the final customer being Israel.
The most recent licences the Government have issued, with dates, are as follows:
Components for F-16 aircraft exported to the US for incorporation, with the ultimate end user being Israel-January 2006 (components for military aircraft head-down displays and military aircraft head-down display equipment);
Components for Apache helicopters exported to the US for incorporation, with the ultimate end user being Israel-January 2006 (components for combat helicopters).
Our records for the last 10 years show no components have been supplied direct to Israel for Apache helicopters, F-15, or F-16 aircraft and no components have been supplied to the US for incorporation for F-15 aircraft, with the final customer being Israel.
