Open Individual Export Licences: USA

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, with reference to the US police response to Black Lives Matter protests in that country, if she will instruct her officials to carry out an urgent compliance visit to monitor Open Individual Export Licence 4P to the USA, issued in 2015.

Answer

The licence referred to and published on GOV.UK in the data for 1st July to 30th September 2015 as ā€œ4Pā€, permitting certain exports to the United States of America, expired in July 2018.

Two compliance visits were conducted during the validity of the licence, but compliance records are commercially sensitive and cannot be published.

The Rt. Hon. Lady will know that standard end user conditions for all Open Individual Export Licences (OIELs) are available to view on GOV.UK and, under this licence, the exporter could only export to a government directly or companies using the listed goods in fulfilment of any part of a government contract.
