§ Mr. WorthingtonTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list the current controls on British arms sales by country and type of weaponry.
§ Mr. FreemanThe current export controls are set out in part III group 1 of the Export of Goods (Control) Order 1994 as amended. These define the equipments requiring an export licence and, where the controls are not of a global application, the countries to which they apply. Each export licence application is assessed on a case-by-case basis taking into account, as appropriate, a range of relevant factors including national security, international obligations and humanitarian concerns.
