answer text <p>As the Secretary of State for International Trade said during her statement to the House last week, the Government unreservedly apologises for the export licences that were issued in error and has commissioned a full independent investigation.This investigation will be led by an independent senior official – the Director General of Policy Group in the Department for Work and Pensions. We take our arms export control responsibilities very seriously and remain fully committed to complying with the undertaking provided to the Court of Appeal.</p> more like this

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> more like this
