Anum Qaisar
Shadow SNP Spokesperson (Levelling Up)
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether any UK-based artificial intelligence companies have export licenses to Israel.
Alan Mak
Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade) (jointly with the Cabinet Office)
We continue to monitor the situation in Israel and Gaza closely. The UK has not granted any export licences to UK-based AI companies to export to Israel.
All export licence applications are assessed on a case-by-case basis against the Strategic Export Licensing Criteria. The UK operates one of the most robust and transparent export control regimes in the world.
