<p>The Government has been made aware of the contents of the report published on 6
February by John Deverell for Oxfam entitled A Process for Arms Exports: Fulfilling
Criterion 2C of the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licencing Criteria, and
has noted them fully. The Government has some of the most stringent exports rules
in the world and will not issue an export licence where it considers there is a clear
risk that the goods might be used in the commission of a serious violation of International
Humanitarian Law. We already draw on a range of sources in making assessments, including
from non-governmental organisations and international organisations, and welcome any
further information or proposals they choose to provide.</p>
