answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2018 answer text Information on HMRC enforcement outcomes is published in the Strategic Export Controls Annual Reports which are available on the gov.uk. Website. The specific information requested is not readily available. HMRC takes breaches of strategic export controls very seriously but does not view a criminal prosecution as the only successful law enforcement outcome in all cases. There are several other options they can and regularly do exercise; these include building awareness, sending warning letters, issuing compound penalties and seizure or disruption actions. answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 29/01/2018 14:54:10 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
