Independent, Leicester South
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether his Department can exempt from arms export licensing products with a direct military application; and whether any such exemptions have been granted since 2022.
Douglas Alexander
Minister of State (Cabinet Office), Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade)
The requirement for an export licence for military goods is set out in the Export Control Order 2008. Export licence applications for all controlled goods are rigorously assessed on a case-by-case basis against strict assessment criteria, the Strategic Export Licensing Criteria.
Where licence applications include items that are not covered by the 2008 Order, exporters can be informed that no licence is required.
