Written Question
UAV Engines: Exports
Wednesday 17th April 2024

Asked by: Kenny MacAskill (Alba Party - East Lothian)

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if her Department will make an assessment of the likelihood of the presence of (a) engines and (b) engine parts produced by UAV Engines, Staffordshire, in the Hermes 450 drone used in the strikes on World Central Kitchen vehicles.

Answered by Alan Mak - Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade) (jointly with the Cabinet Office)

We continue to monitor the situation in Israel and Gaza closely but are not commenting on specific licences.

All export licence applications are assessed on a case-by-case basis against the Strategic Export Licensing Criteria. The UK operates one of the most robust and transparent export control regimes in the world.

We are carefully reviewing initial findings of Israel’s investigations into the killing of World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid workers.

The findings of the inquiry must be published in full and followed up with a wholly independent review to ensure the utmost transparency and accountability.
