Mr. Tony Lloyd

We are considering the format and contents of future annual reports on strategic export controls in the light of responses to the first.

Ms Drown

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when the next annual report on strategic exports will be published; and if it will be made available through the Stationery Office. [93481]

Mr. Tony Lloyd

We will publish the second Annual Report as soon as possible.

We have not yet decided whether to make the annual report available through the Stationery Office. Copies of the first Annual Report have been placed in the Library of the House and are also available free of charge from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. The first Annual Report has also been published on the FCO website.
