answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2017 answer text <p>The UK takes its arms export responsibilities very seriously and operates one of the most robust arms export control regimes in the world. We do not licence the supply of equipment that would be in breach of an arms embargo, which would provoke or prolong armed conflicts, or aggravate existing tensions or conflicts, or if there is a clear risk that the items might be used for internal repression.</p><p>The British Government has not authorised the supply of arms to South Sudan. We have consistently called for a UN arms embargo to be implemented with immediate effect. Such an embargo would prevent any sale of arms to South Sudan globally.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 24/10/2017 15:53:21 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
