answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/06/2018 answer text <p>We are confident that our robust process for assessing export licence applications manages the risk that UK-supplied equipment might be used in a way that is inconsistent with the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria. That process includes a rigorous assessment of the risks of diversion. In addition, we judge that it would not be practical or effective to carry out verification visits to end users in country. We keep extant licences under review and will revoke a licence if we judge that the export of the items covered by the licence would no longer be consistent with the Consolidated Criteria. We do not generally collect information on whether items granted an export licence are exported, or how they are then used.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 28/06/2018 15:06:07 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

uin	133735
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2018 answer text <p>The UK has exported a number of items to Israel over the last three years, including body armour, equipment to deal with military improvised explosive devices, and components for targeting equipment, military communications, tanks and military support aircraft and vehicles. We do not collect data on the use of equipment after sale. UK arms exports are subject to export controls. All decisions to approve export licences to Israel are considered on a case-by-case basis against the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria (Consolidated Criteria). Decisions are based on the most up-to-date information and analysis available, including reports from our overseas network and military contacts. The Consolidated Criteria provide a thorough risk assessment framework and require us to consider the impact of providing equipment and its capabilities. We do not issue export licences where, for example, we assess there is a clear risk that the goods might be used for internal repression. We keep our approach to all countries under continual review.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 29/03/2018 14:54:44 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

tabling member constituency	Warrington South

uin	28111
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2016 answer text <p>Israeli settlement building in the West Bank and East Jerusalem has continued since the cessation of Operation Protective Edge. In August 2014, the Israeli Government expropriated over 1000 acres of Palestinian land near Bethlehem, the largest expropriation in 30 years. In September 2014, Israeli authorities approved 2610 units in Givat Hamatos. In 2015, according to Israeli Non-Government Office Peace Now, construction for 1800 previously-tendered housing units began in the settlements. New tenders for 1143 housing units were also published, 560 in the West Bank and 583 in East Jerusalem. 2016 has seen a number of concerning announcements, including: the extension of the Gush Etzion settlement to include the former church compound of Beit al Baraka; the declaration of 385 acres of land near Jericho as ‘state land’; and approval for a further 153 settlement units. We strongly urge the Israeli Government to reverse its policy over illegal settlements.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 02/03/2016 15:48:36 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
