(asked on 22nd November 2017) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask Her Majesty's Government, following Saudi Arabia's commitment not to use cluster munitions in Yemen, whether they intend to re-offer to remove and destroy Royal Saudi Air Force stocks of UK-made BL-755 weaponry.
This question was answered on 30th November 2017
The UK welcomes Saudi Arabia's commitment in December 2016 that it would no longer use BL-755 cluster munitions. The UK takes its obligations under the Cluster Munitions Convention very seriously and continues to fulfil them. In this respect, we have continued to encourage Saudi Arabia to accede to the Convention, on which private dialogue continues.
