HL Deb 13 November 2000 vol 619 cc14-5WA
Lord Moynihan

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they intend to investigate whether British equipment has been used in Israeli helicopter attacks on Palestinians; and whether the future of arms sales to Israel is also under consideration, as reported in the Guardian on 25 October [HL4453]

Baroness Scotland of Asthal

We are closely monitoring the current violence in the Middle East, including the equipment used by the Israeli Defence Forces in the Occupied Territories. We continue to look at all applications for licences to export defence equipment to Israel on a case-by-case basis against the consolidated EU and national arms export licensing criteria.
