Standard Individual Export Licences: Israel
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, how many times the incorporation SIEL, issued on 26 November 2024, for export to Israel by Thales UK has been used; on which dates; and whether that licence has been exhausted.
- Answer
-
Since September 2024 this Government has suspended licences for exports for the IDF that might be used in military operations in Gaza and we have continued to refuse relevant new licence applications on the same basis.
Not all military licences for Israel have been suspended, as many relate to items for re-export to third countries or are otherwise not assessed as being for use in military operations in Gaza.
We can confirm that the licence referenced remains extant. The Department does not hold comprehensive data on exports that have taken place under individual export licences. For goods export data, you should refer to HMRC, who publish UK trade in goods statistics by partner country and product which can be found on www.uktradeinfo.com.
