answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/05/2019 answer text <p>A licence would not be issued to Saudi Arabia or any other destination if to do so would be inconsistent with any provision of the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria. The situation is kept under careful and continual review. As the Foreign Secretary has said, the Government condemns Jamal Khashoggi’s killing in the strongest possible terms. The Government remains clear that anyone found responsible must be held fully accountable. The UK was signatory to the joint statement on 7 March at the United Nations Human Rights Council which reiterated condemnation of the killing of Jamal Khashoggi. The statement called for investigations into the killing to be prompt, effective and thorough, independent and impartial, and transparent.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 23/05/2019 15:32:40 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/07/2019 answer text <p>The decision did not state that arms sale were illegal. It stated that one aspect of the decision-making process was inadequate. The Government disagrees with the judgment and has sought permission to appeal. In the meantime, we are carefully considering the implications of the judgment for decision-making. Whilst we do this we will not grant any new licences to Saudi Arabia or other coalition partners for exports of items that might be used in the conflict in Yemen.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 02/07/2019 13:05:42 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
