Patrick Grady (Scottish National Party - Glasgow North)
Question
to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what information his Department holds on the supply of arms by a British company to the Government of South Sudan; and if he will make a statement.
Answered by Mark Garnier
- Shadow Parliamentary Under Secretary (Work and Pensions)
We take very seriously the allegations made by Amnesty International on the role of a UK company in the sale 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.
The UK Government has not authorised the supply of arms to South Sudan and DIT has not issued any trade or export licences for arms to South Sudan.
Amnesty International has passed their information to HMRC and it is being assessed.
