To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether his Department plans to review the criterion of specially designed or modified for military use in the schedule 2 of the Export Control Order 2008.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether his Department plans to review the criterion of specially designed or modified for military use in the schedule 2 of the Export Control Order 2008.
The Government keeps UK export controls under constant review and export control legislation, including Schedule 2 of the Export Control Order 2008, is updated on a regular basis to remain compliant with our national and international obligations and commitments.
Schedule 2 of the Export Control Order principally derives from the UK's international commitments under the Wassenaar Arrangement on conventional arms and dual-use goods and technologies, and thereby reflects the discussions and agreements reached with relevant partners. Any change would need therefore to be agreed internationally.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to his Department's policy paper entitled Summary of the International Humanitarian Law (IHL) process, decision and the factors taken into account, published on 2 September 2024, and the Export Control Act 2002 and the Export Control...

Our International Humanitarian Law (IHL) assessments continue to assess Israel's compliance and commitment to IHL. Since the 2 September 2024 announcement, subsequent assessments continue to find possible breaches of IHL in the areas of humanitarian access and in the treatment of detainees. The suspension of export licences therefore remains in place.
We are appalled by civilian casualties in Gaza and urgently call for an immediate return to a ceasefire. All parties must re-engage with negotiations to get hostages out, surge aid, and secure a permanent end to this conflict.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will list the items that exporters were fined by HMRC for unlicensed export of under the Export Control Order 2008 from March to November 2021.
Information on HMRC enforcement outcomes is published in the Strategic Export Controls Annual Reports. In line with the Commissioners for Revenue and Customs Act 2005, HMRC cannot list the items that were exported, because to do so would disclose information about an identifiable ‘person’. However, HMRC can confirm that the items were either military rated or dual use goods.

Introducing the revised Military End-Use Control announced via Written Ministerial Statement on 8 December 2021 requires changes to the Export Control Order 2008. We are planning to make these changes through the normal Parliamentary process and expect them to come into force in Spring 2022.
The enhanced Military End-Use Control will strengthen our ability to prevent the export of items that might be used directly or indirectly to facilitate human rights violations in all destinations subject to an arms embargo. This includes the export of goods, software or technology intended for use by the military, paramilitary, police, or security forces in any destination subject to an arms embargo.

HM Government supports responsible defence industries, which make a major contribution to our prosperity. Licensing controls are a vital service to industry, protecting the reputation and legitimacy of business.
The obligation is for a business to inform us of the address where records relating to exports made under general licences are kept. As such we are not able to ascertain where records may be held for specific sites and there is no requirement under the legislation that businesses provide that information.
The purpose of inspections is to get assurance that users of general licences meet the terms and conditions of the licences they use. Whilst the outcome of compliance inspections is commercially sensitive, the Hon. Gentleman may still find it helpful to know that the following inspections took place:
(a) Raytheon
(i) Glenrothes – 23 November 2016
(ii) Harlow – 5 November 2015
(b) MBDA
(i) Stevenage – 31 August 2017
(ii) Lostock – 19 October 2017
(iii) Henlow – no records held at this site
(c) BAE at Samlesbury – 5 April 2017
(d) Rolls Royce at Bristol – 18 September 2017
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, which sites used by holders of general export licences for military goods have not been inspected by her Department under Article 31 of the Export Control Order 2008 in each of the last 36 months apart from the BAE site at...

Inspections of records under section 31 are in relation to a company’s use of general licences. The purpose of inspections is to get assurance that users of general licences meet the terms and conditions of their licences.
The scope of the general licences includes only items and destinations that are consistent with the Consolidated Criteria. Those published by the Department for International Trade have all been pre-assessed for risk and agreed by all relevant departments that they can be published. Our compliance checks are focused where higher risks of non-compliance lie.
An answer detailing the sites that have not been inspected in the past 36 months can only be provided at disproportionate cost, as my Department would have to manually review every existing and surrendered open licence registration.
Inspections of records under section 31 are in relation to a company’s use of general licences and not specific events such as regular freighter flights.

Inspections of records under section 31 are in relation to a company’s use of general licences and not specific events such as regular freighter flights.
Their purpose is to get assurance that users of general licences meet the terms and conditions of their licences.
The frequency of inspections varies from six months to three years, taking into account the track record of compliance; types of licences utilised; knowledge and experience of the business in relation to export controls; and frequency of usage.
The BAE site at Warton was last inspected on 5 and 6 April 2017 and covered three separate BAE Systems companies. The outcome of compliance inspections is commercially sensitive.

The UK operates one of the most rigorous and transparent export control systems in the world. All export licence applications are rigorously assessed on a case-by-case basis against the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria, taking into account all prevailing circumstances at the time of application, including reports from Non-government Organisations and our overseas network. In particular, Criterion Two concerns the ‘respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms in the country of final destination as well as respect by that country for international humanitarian law.
The Government will not issue an export licence if to do so would be inconsistent with any provision of the Consolidated Criteria, including if there is a clear risk that the proposed export might be used for internal repression. This assessment takes into account the specific end user and intended end use of the goods.
In this particular case the licence was issued for the temporary export of the equipment for demonstration purposes and a condition of the licence was that the goods would remain under the control of the exporter.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) does not release the details of investigations where no conviction has taken place or the names of those individuals or companies that HMRC have previously, or are currently, investigating.
Details of the prosecution for a trafficking and brokering offence arising under the provisions of the Export Control Order 2008 are as follows:
One individual was arrested in March 2011 for promoting the supply or delivery of handguns and hand-held surface to air missiles to Azerbaijan, in contravention of the Export Control Order 2008. In July 2012, they were found guilty on both counts and sentenced to three and a half years in respect of missiles and two and a half years in respect of the handguns, to run concurrently.
The action HMRC takes in respect of breaches of export controls will depend on the nature and seriousness of any offence, and that action is not limited to investigation with a view to prosecution.
