answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2015 answer text <p>All loans of defence equipment, including weaponry, are made on the basis of a number of criteria related to our defence priorities including to assist exports, military operations and equipment cooperation for defined purposes. A key condition is ensuring it has no impact on our own operational capability and limiting our liability for damages to equipment and personnel. Such equipment may be loaned on the basis of charging but also on a no-cost basis in support of wider bilateral relations or as part of a reciprocal arrangement. All loans would also consider UK export regulations, as well as other countries' export conditions if the equipment originates, or contains components, from other countries.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Canterbury answering member printed Mr Julian Brazier question first answered 10/06/2015 15:58:13 answering member 77 label Biography information for Sir Julian Brazier
