uin	HL7655
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2020 answer text <p>The UK welcomed Saudi Arabia's commitment in 2016 that it would no longer use BL-755 cluster munitions, which were exported from the UK, with the last delivery being in 1989. We have no evidence that this assurance has been breached and have not seen evidence of any recent use of cluster munitions in Yemen since 2016. We continue to monitor the situation closely. We regularly emphasise to Saudi Arabia the importance of conducting thorough and transparent investigations into alleged International Humanitarian Law violations. UN Special Envoy Martin Griffiths is continuing to seek the parties agreement to a permanent ceasefire and a resumption of the UN-led political process. We fully support these efforts and urge the parties to engage constructively with the Special Envoy.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 11/09/2020 13:08:01 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
