<p>Arms sales data by region are published annually on GOV.UK.</p><p> </p><p>The Government
publishes Official Statistics about export licences granted and refused each quarter.
The data currently includes details of licences up to 30 September 2016. Data for
the period 1 October 2016 to 31 December 2016 will be published on 19 April 2017.
The data can be accessed on GOV.UK</p><p> </p><p>Licences granted are not necessarily
a measure of exports shipped in a given period as they are valid for between two and
five years. Licensing data only provides a partial indication of sales as exporters
only declare export values for a subsection of licences (Standard Individual Export
Licences). Some licences expire before they are used and in these circumstances exporters
must submit a further application, which can result in an element of double counting.</p><p>
</p><p>Export values declared for Standard Individual Export Licences for military
exports granted in 2010, 2012 and 2014 are as follows:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Value
(£)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>£341,007,088</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>£111,721,756</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014</p></td><td><p>£80,749,168</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
