Export Controls: Saudi Arabia

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, pursuant to the Answer of 27 June 2019 to Question 267763 on Standard Individual Export Licences: Saudi Arabia, what the estimated value is of the 57 export licences for Saudi Arabia under consideration on 20 June 2019.

Answer

Any applications being considered for the granting of licences have not been published as official statistics on GOV.UK and therefore information about those applications cannot be disclosed.

In addition, since no decision has been taken on these export licence applications, I am also withholding this information as its disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice relations between the United Kingdom and another State.

The data currently published on GOV.UK covers licences where a decision was made prior to 1 January 2019, with details of each licence correct as at 15 March 2019. Information from the period 1 January 2019 to 31 March 2019 will be published on 16 July 2019 and data covering the period 1 April 2019 to 30 June 2019 will be published in October 2019.
