Written question asked by Lord Alton of Liverpool (Crossbench), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Baroness Wilcox (Conservative) on Monday, 21 November 2011.
Surveillance: Telecommunications
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether Creativity Software have sold surveillance technology to the Government of Yemen; what was sold and when; and whether they will list all export licences, detailing (a) the names of companies, (b) the dates of transactions, and (c) the sums of money involved for the sale of surveillance technology to Yemen, Iran and Syria over the past five years.
- Answer
-
Surveillance technology is not intrinsically controlled under the UK export control regime as there are a number of legitimate commercial applications for which it can be used. We therefore have no information on what has been sold to the Government of Yemen by Creativity Software. There has been no export licences issued to Creativity Software to Yemen, Iran or Syria over the past five years.
