Speech in Commons Chamber - Thu 14 Mar 2019
Oral Answers to Questions

"Conservative Ministers chose to include the NHS in their approach to the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, which could have made it impossible to bring privatised NHS services back in-house. The Secretary of State will know that privatisation is proceeding apace in the NHS—it certainly is in my constituency, in …..."

Written Question
Arms Trade: Cameroon
Friday 23rd November 2018

Asked by: Anneliese Dodds (Labour (Co-op) - Oxford East)

Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, whether his Department plans to review arms sales to the Government of Cameroon.

Answered by Graham Stuart

The Government takes its export control responsibilities extremely seriously.

The UK operates one of the most robust export control regimes in the world. The Government will not grant export licences where to do so would be inconsistent with the Consolidated EU and National Arms Exports Licensing Criteria, which include the respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms in the country of final destination. The Government will not grant a licence where there is a clear risk that the items to exported might be used for internal repression.

Extant licences can be revoked at any time if the situation changes in Cameroon and those licences are no longer assessed as being consistent with the licensing criteria.


The policy remains as announced to parliament in a Written Ministerial Statement on 25 March 2014: https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201314/cmhansrd/cm140325/wmstext/140325m0001.htm#140325660000

Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Bill (Sixth sitting)

"I am grateful to the Minister for his clarifications. I know he will regret hearing this, but the Opposition feel that the procedures are, sadly, not appropriate and proportionate.

Like many of the Opposition’s amendments, amendments 55 and 56 try to improve the legal certainty in the Bill. They would ensure that reviews could not normally be opened into measures that were less than …..."
