Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, with reference to the Human Rights and Democracy Report 2016, published by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in July 2017, which countries listed as countries of concern on human rights the Government has authorised arms sales to in the last year.

The Government publishes Official Statistics (on a quarterly and annual basis) of licences granted and refused for military exports 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. These can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/strategic-export-controls-licensing-data

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