	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/11/2018 answer text <p>The UK operates one of the most robust export licensing systems in the world. It considers whether the goods might be used in a way which is inconsistent with the Consolidated EU &amp; National Arms Export Licensing Criteria. We also retain powers to revoke licences, once issued, if circumstances or information available to us change. End user certificates are considered as part of the process already.</p><p>We believe that our existing system is robust and delivers a high level of assurance. The Government is always looking to see how it can improve its export controls and we are in contact with countries who carry out some limited end use checks to see if there is anything we can learn from their experience.</p><p>​</p><p>​</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 12/11/2018 11:54:56 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
