	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/10/2015 answer text <p>The Government takes its export responsibilities very seriously and aims to operate one of the most robust export control regimes in the world. Government policy is enshrined in the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria, known as the Consolidated Criteria. We rigorously examine every application on a case-by-case basis against the Consolidated Criteria and will only issue an export licence where to do so would be consistent with these criteria.</p><p>We undertake appropriate checks using both open and other sources when considering licence applications. To ensure a comprehensive and consistent approach, this will involve Desk and Post in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and relevant experts from other Departments.</p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 15/10/2015 15:42:23 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/01/2016 answer text <p>Since 2008 six licences have been granted that relate to the sale of complete Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft to Saudi Arabia. Four of these licences are linked. Where licences expired before they were fully exhausted the exporter submitted a new application to cover those aircraft not exported under previous licences. The values therefore relate to exports licensed rather than actual exports.</p><br /><p>Typhoon transfers per year are declared in the UK Strategic Export Controls Annual Reports and can be found on GOV.UK</p><br /><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Value of Licence(s)</p></td><td><p>Licence Extant or Expired?</p></td><td><p>Licence used in full or in part</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><br> 2009</p></td><td><p><br> £1,476,666,648</p></td><td><p><br> Expired</p></td><td><p><br> Used in part</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>£1,555,833,315</p></td><td><p>Expired</p></td><td><p>Used in part</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>£129,652,776</p></td><td><p>Expired</p></td><td><p>Used in full</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>£1,564,666,650</p></td><td><p>Expired</p></td><td><p>Used in part</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015 2015</p></td><td><p>£1,564,666,650 £129,652,776</p></td><td><p>Extant Extant</p></td><td><p>Used in part Used in part</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td><td><p><br></p></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 12/01/2016 16:48:54 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry
