Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, if he will publish the assessments made of the military equipment approved for exports to Venezuela between 2015 and 2017.

All export licences are issued in strict accordance with the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria.

We will not be publishing assessments made of the military equipment approved for exports to Venezuela between 2015 – 2017 because such assessments are confidential.

The Government publishes Official Statistics (on a quarterly and annual basis) on export licences granted and refused on GOV.UK. These reports contain detailed information on export licences issued, refused or revoked, by destination, including the overall value, type (e.g. Military, Other) and a summary of the items covered by these licences.

Currently this includes information up to 31 March 2017. Information covering 1 April to 30 June 2017 will be published on 17 October 2017 and information covering 1 July to 30 September 2017 will be published on 16 January 2018.
