answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/08/2023 answer text <p>We have not raised this case specifically with the Israeli authorities but we stress to them the damage that their restrictions on movement, access, and trade are doing to the living standards of ordinary Palestinians. We are frustrated by the reports of access restrictions to the village of al-Mughayyir and instances of settler-related violence. All Israelis and Palestinians deserve to live in peace and security. As the occupying power, we urge Israel to fulfil its responsibilities, including ensuring the protection of the civilian population, including from acts of violence by Israeli settlers. I [Lord (Tariq) Ahmad of Wimbledon] made this clear most recently in a phone call with the Israeli chargé d'affaires on July 4.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 10/08/2023 10:12:09 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/06/2018 answer text <p>We are confident that our robust process for assessing export licence applications manages the risk that UK-supplied equipment might be used in a way that is inconsistent with the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria. That process includes a rigorous assessment of the risks of diversion. In addition, we judge that it would not be practical or effective to carry out verification visits to end users in country. We keep extant licences under review and will revoke a licence if we judge that the export of the items covered by the licence would no longer be consistent with the Consolidated Criteria. We do not generally collect information on whether items granted an export licence are exported, or how they are then used.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 28/06/2018 15:06:07 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

tabling member printed	Lloyd Russell-Moyle
uin	133735
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2018 answer text <p>The UK has exported a number of items to Israel over the last three years, including body armour, equipment to deal with military improvised explosive devices, and components for targeting equipment, military communications, tanks and military support aircraft and vehicles. We do not collect data on the use of equipment after sale. UK arms exports are subject to export controls. All decisions to approve export licences to Israel are considered on a case-by-case basis against the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria (Consolidated Criteria). Decisions are based on the most up-to-date information and analysis available, including reports from our overseas network and military contacts. The Consolidated Criteria provide a thorough risk assessment framework and require us to consider the impact of providing equipment and its capabilities. We do not issue export licences where, for example, we assess there is a clear risk that the goods might be used for internal repression. We keep our approach to all countries under continual review.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 29/03/2018 14:54:44 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
