Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether he will be laying a Gifting Minute before the House in respect of Saxon armoured vehicles exported to Ukraine.

Answer

The 20 Saxon armoured vehicles exported to Ukraine was a commercial sale between a private company and the Ukraine Ministry of Defence, and subject to the rigorous export licensing process. The vehicles were not gifted to Ukraine by the Government, therefore a gifting minute will not be laid before the House.
