Arms Export Controls

The hon. Gentleman takes us back to end-use monitoring, as opposed to assessments during the licensing application process. Guarantees of use will be given, and I see no inconsistency here. Re-exporting is potentially a very difficult issue. Mention was made of Indian re-exports to Burma. Those are of grave concern, and those concerns are factored into licensing decisions. However, the re-export to end-use destinations such as the United States of components supplied to Israel, as happens quite a lot, would not necessarily cause the Government heightened concern.
