Open General Export Licences: Israel

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what reviews have been conducted for the terms of each Open General Export Licence that lists Israel as a permitted destination since October 2023.

Answer

The Government continues to monitor closely the situation in Israel and Gaza.

The Government can and does respond quickly and flexibly to changing international circumstances. All export licences, including Open General Export Licences, are kept under careful and continual review as standard. We are able to amend, suspend or revoke extant licences and refuse new licence applications as circumstances require.

Any changes to Open General Export Licences would be communicated through a Notice to Exporters which would be published on GOV.UK.
