Ms Glenda Jackson

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if, in developing the proposals in the draft Export Control and Non-Proliferation Bill, the Government will be evaluating measures to monitor the use of controlled goods once they have been exported from the UK. [159709]

Dr. Howells

The Government keep all export control procedures under continuous review, including the need for monitoring, where appropriate, the use of controlled goods once they have been exported from the UK. The Government will consider carefully any comments received on the issue of end-use monitoring during the current public consultation on the draft Export Control and Non-Proliferation Bill, which ends on 24 May.
