Elbit Systems UK

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether any arms export licences held by Elbit Systems UK were suspended on 2 September 2024 following the review of Israel’s compliance with international humanitarian law.

Answer

We suspended export licences for Israel where these relate to items for use in military operations in Gaza. This includes licences for components for fighter aircraft, helicopters and drones, naval systems and targeting equipment.

Since the details of individual suspended licences contain sensitive information relevant to the individual exporter companies, the government is not providing further comment on them.
