The UK does not have commercial contracts with other countries for arms and security related sales and services. Through bilateral government-to-government arrangements the UK works closely with its international partners and allies to support the development of their defence and security capabilities across a broad range of areas.

To produce the information would involve collecting data from all branches and services involved in international defence engagement activity which could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
