	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/06/2019 answer text <p>Article 17 of the Export Control Order 2008 sets out the scope of controls applying to goods in transit or being transhipped. As Saudi Arabia is neither an embargoed destination nor a destination subject to stricter transit controls under the Order, a transhipment licence would not be required for military goods provided certain conditions are met. These conditions are principally that the goods were legally exported from the country of export (in this case, Belgium) and that they remain in the UK for a period of less than 30 days.</p><p> </p><p>We have no reason to believe these conditions were not met and therefore no transhipment licence was required.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 06/06/2019 15:24:41 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
