Defence Equipment: Russia
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what actions her Department are undertaking to ensure that UK companies do not sell or transfer data bus transformers utilised in fly-by-wire controls to Russia, or third-party countries military manufacturers supplying Russia.
- Answer
-
The UK, in coordination with key allies, has introduced several packages of increasingly hard-hitting sanctions that prohibit the supply of a wide range of goods and services, including the supply of components that could be utilised in Russian military equipment. This information is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/russia-sanctions-guidance/russia-sanctions-guidance (opens in a new tab).
Our approach to decision-making is to focus on a rigorous forward-looking risk assessment before a licence is issued and to consider whether goods might be used in a way which is inconsistent with the Strategic Export Licensing Criteria, including the risk of items being used on contravention of sanctions.
