Details of military rated licences that were extant as at 24 June (9am) and were granted prior to 31 December 2018 have been placed in the libraries of the House.<\/p>
<\/p>
Information about licences granted from 1 January 2019 onwards has not, as yet, been published as official statistics on GOV.UK and therefore cannot be disclosed at this time.<\/p>
The data currently published on GOV.UK covers licences where a decision was made prior to 1 January 2019, with details of each licence correct as at 15 March 2019. Information from the period 1 January 2019 to 31 March 2019 will be published on 16 July 2019 and data covering the period 1 April 2019 to 30 June 2019 will be published in October 2019.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government is carefully considering the implications of the Court of Appeal Judgment for decision making. As part of this work we will be determining which licences would need to be reconsidered.

UK Export Finance (UKEF) has no investments in Qatar. In 2018, UKEF provided a package of loans, guarantees and insurance with a value of around £4.2 billion (not taking into account amounts reinsured by other ECAs) in respect of the sale of 24 Typhoon and 9 Hawk aircraft and associated goods and services by UK companies BAE Systems and MBDA UK to the State of Qatar.<\/p>
<\/p>
UKEF has published details of its support for these contracts in its Annual Report and Accounts 2018-19 (pages 55-56) which has been presented to Parliament and can be found on UKEF\u2019s website.<\/p>
