The purpose of compliance visits is to get assurance that exporters holding open licences meet the terms and conditions of the licences they use. The frequency of compliance visits takes into account several factors, including the track record of compliance by the exporter and their previous compliance levels, the types of licences utilised and the knowledge and experience of the business in relation to export controls. We are satisfied that there is no need to undertake an urgent inspection at this time.

The Rt. Hon. Lady will know that standard end user conditions for all Open Individual Export Licences (OIELs) are available to view on GOV.UK and, under this licence, the exporter may only export to a government directly or companies using the listed goods in fulfilment of a government contract. Furthermore, export under this licence is restricted to the armed forces and the police.

Compliance records are commercially sensitive and therefore cannot be published, but I can confirm that a compliance visit has been undertaken in relation to this licence.

Currently there is (a) one company authorised to export riot control agents; and (b) six companies authorised to export riot control equipment under Open Individual Export Licences (OIELs).

However, a list of all names and addresses of companies that are authorised to export riot control agents and/or equipment can only be provided at disproportionate costs. Furthermore, such information may be commercially sensitive.

The information requested will be placed in the libraries of the House, with an expiry date for each of the licences. This deposit will replace a) DEP2019-0710 (UIN 267765) and b) DEP2019-0711 (UIN 268564).

The spreadsheets include details of (a) all extant Open Individual Export Licences for Saudi Arabia, including licences for dual-use items, and (b) all extant export licences for military-rated goods to Saudi Arabia.

The Government is carefully considering the implications of the recent Court of Appeal judgment for decision making, including extant licences. While this is taking place, the Government will not grant any new licences for export to Saudi Arabia or its coalition partners of items that might be used in Yemen.

Only the Open Individual Export Licence issued on 9 May 2016 remains extant, but it is not for crowd control equipment; it covers items such as body armour for bomb disposal and protection from bomb fragmentation.

The Foreign Secretary announced on 25 June that we will not issue any further export licences for crowd control equipment to Hong Kong unless we are satisfied that concerns raised about human rights and fundamental freedoms have been thoroughly addressed. There are no extant licences for crowd control equipment.

There are 295 extant Standard Individual Export Licences, where the end user is Saudi Arabia.

There were 57 applications for export licences under consideration on 20 June 2019.

Details of Open Individual Export Licences (OIEL) that were extant as at 24 June (9am) and these licences were granted prior to 31 December 2018, will be placed in the libraries of the House.

Any licences granted from 1 January 2019 onwards have not, as yet, been published as official statistics on GOV.UK and therefore information about those licences cannot be disclosed.

The data currently published on GOV.UK covers licences where a decision was made prior to 1 January 2019, with details of each licence correct as at 15 March 2019. Information from the period 1 January 2019 to 31 March 2019 will be published on 16 July 2019 and data covering the period 1 April 2019 to 30 June 2019 will be published in October 2019.

OIELs are generally valid for up to 5 years from the date of issue. However, OIELs covering the export to EU Member States of goods entered on the Military List are generally valid for up to 3 years.

Disclosure of the names of those exporters who have been granted Open Individual Export Licences would prejudice their commercial interests and therefore we will not be disclosing this information.

Extant licences are reviewed in circumstances where the assessment of the licensing position under the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria changes. In the case of Saudi Arabia, the licensing position is kept under careful and continual review.

Our export licensing system allows us to respond quickly to changing facts on the ground and we have powers to revoke or suspend licences if our assessment of the licensing position changes.

Disclosure of the names of those in receipt of Open Individual Export Licences would prejudice commercial interests. Where the information is already in the public domain, as is the case of OIELS for the air-to-surface missiles licence, there would be no disclosure that prejudiced commercial interests.
