answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2019 answer text <p>The UK’s regulatory framework for export controls is set out in the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria, which provide a thorough risk assessment process for reaching licensing decisions. The Court of Appeal judgment of 20 June does not undermine the UK’s overall framework for export controls as set out in the Consolidated Criteria. These Criteria have stood the test of time and are shared by EU Member States. The Court’s judgment is about how decisions were made in relation to one element of one of those Criteria in a specific context.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 27/06/2019 11:40:13 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
