answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/06/2018 answer text <p>We do not have extraterritorial powers to restrict the end use of goods exported under an export licence from the UK. However, end use is an important consideration when assessing a licence application against the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria.</p><p>This assessment is undertaken on a case-by-case basis and the Consolidated Criteria require us to think hard about the impact of providing equipment and its capabilities to the end user. We will not a grant a licence if to do so would be inconsistent with these criteria.</p><p>We are keeping the situation in Israel and Gaza under careful review to ensure that extant export licences remain consistent with the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria. We will revoke these licences if we assess that they are no longer consistent with these criteria.</p><p>We have no information to suggest that UK supplied equipment has been used in contravention of the Consolidated Criteria.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 12/06/2018 16:06:17 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
