Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what advice the Government provides to British companies which supply or are considering to supply the Burmese military or are considering entering into joint ventures or other business arrangements with military-owned or military-linked companies from that country.

British companies contacting the Department for International Trade’s Defence & Security Organisation for advice or support relating to exports to Burma are made aware that there is currently an arms embargo and other restrictions in force, and are referred to the Gov.uk website for further information.
