Open Individual Export Licences: Hong Kong
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, whether the Open Individual Export Licences for crowd control equipment to the Hong Kong SAR issued on (a) 27 July 2015, (b) 15 January 2016, (c) 15 April 2016 and (d) 9 May 2016 are extant.
- Answer
-
Only the Open Individual Export Licence issued on 9 May 2016 remains extant, but it is not for crowd control equipment; it covers items such as body armour for bomb disposal and protection from bomb fragmentation.
The Foreign Secretary announced on 25 June that we will not issue any further export licences for crowd control equipment to Hong Kong unless we are satisfied that concerns raised about human rights and fundamental freedoms have been thoroughly addressed. There are no extant licences for crowd control equipment.
