The Export Control Joint Unit strives to meet its licensing targets by concluding 70 per cent of standard individual export licence applications within 20 working days and 99 per cent within 60 working days. We publish comprehensive Official Statistics every quarter about the decisions we make on licence applications including processing times. This data is available at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/strategic-export-controls-licensing-data.<\/p>

As of 12 March 2024, the processing of export licence applications was being delivered by 48.61 full-time equivalent (FTE) officials within the Department for Business and Trade. They are supported by teams from the Ministry of Defence and Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office who provide advice to DBT on export licence applications.<\/p>

As export licensing is a demand-led operation, ECJU regularly assesses how to organise its resources to enable it to provide the most efficient and effective service and to adapt to changing demands.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4460", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Wealden"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Ms Nusrat Ghani"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-03-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-03-21T17:13:26.087Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "214"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Business and Trade"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Business and Trade"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-03-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Export Controls"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what the average processing time was for export licenses in the last six months; how many civil servants were assigned to process export licenses in that period; and whether her Department plans to take steps to (a) increase the number of civil servants assigned to process export licenses and (b) improve the efficiency of the export licensing process.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4638", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Slough"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi"} ], "uin" : "19152"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 1, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
